This transported me into the Zone so deftly. The writing style, the symbolism, the intro segue - it was all so reminiscent. And you captured the IT stuff and the love story brilliantly, within the character showing and alll the little details. Excellent writing, superbly executed, John.
Fantastic, John. You left the breadcrumbs, but I had no idea where they led until the crisis. A tender and beautiful love story that leaves much to ponder at the end. I particularly enjoyed the details of the coffee shop.
Loved this. Thank god I wasn't the protagonist cuz I'd be on a beach with Cass sipping mojitos while the daycare blew up.
lol
Me 2 brother
You made me cry, John Ward. Jesus flipping Christ. This story was amazing. I wanna read it again even though my heart is bruised.
This was such a ride! Couldn't stop reading
Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
Stellar Rod Serling intro/outro
A beautiful love story in The Substack Zone!
