With the way you wrote her, I couldn't help giving her more influence over the story! Can't wait to find out what she's up to. 😂

Great job on this chapter. I’m wary of not only Maureen but of the teacup as well!

Thank you so much! And welcome to the story where you can't trust the people, the animals, or the inanimate objects!

Thank you!! You and Mark gave me *so much* good material to use. I couldn't be happier with our group effort so far.

Thanks!! I'm very curious to see what sort of mess we leave for you to deal with in the end. 😂 I'm sure you'll be able to comb it out though!

These keep building on each other in such a great way! I love the ideas and concepts. Can't believe this is where we are at but I'm strapped in for the full ride at this point. Can't wait for the next entry!

So glad that we're delivering on our promise of a wild ride! I also can't wait to see where this goes, especially now that I'm purely an audience member going forward.

Well done, Anthony. Just the right amount of untangling and intrigue.

My turn. Woo hoo!

Thanks!! I was second-guessing myself a lot on the balance, so I'm glad I seem to have gotten it right. I am very stoked to see what you have in store for us tomorrow!

I am curious to see what everyone thinks. Did I get it right or go too far. 🤣

Maureen's really [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] and she's [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [SUPER REDACTED]. Who would have known, right?

:D :D

"Maureen's really [tired] from [counseling people] and she's [going to] [take a] [SUPER long nap]."

Huh. Not so menacing after all! 😂Too bad anything I write at this point is fanfiction at best.

Not me, certainly. I just though she was just a throwaway minor character!

This chapter makes it 3 for 3! A very intriguing continuation to an already fun read.

Thanks, Winston!! I can't wait either, which feels strange to say as a contributor! Just one more day though.

They break your heart, I break the case - noice noir! Big claps for all the story maestros so far... 👏

I realized on my final revision that it's a wasted opportunity to have him answer the phone like a normal person. I'm so disproportionately proud of that line, so thank you. 😁

And we have such a talented group of folks! I can't wait to see what everyone remaining pulls out.

Great line - fit perfectly with the style. Rightly proud. I’d have been sipping bourbon in the sun after that one. 🥃
