Yep, that says it. Very well done.
Loved it! Thank you.
Wow I almost didn’t open this because of the content warning. Glad I did!
Tim–Terrific. You darn well summed up the past year (if not the past decade) and, I’m afraid, the next…. Showed us that protagonists ain’t always heroes, even in our own stories. Time to reverse roles and become antagonists to our antagonists? Signed a dog lover.
Oh this is so clever!
