    Jesus that was an enjoyable read. And yeah, the lack of it being armed was the idea that I was trying to get across. Do you write short stories by any chance? I used to read a ton of r/writing_prompts

      i wish i could. i’m an oral storyteller. i’ve tried to get into the written word and die around 50 pages every time. nah, my legacy will be my music.

      i can recommend good authors (i love Jasper Fforde) if you need a good enjoyable read to lift your heart but my efforts, uh, i struggle.

        Ever thought about doing short stories? I think they’d suit you. Especially a macabre horror comedy. No pressure though, just figured I’d suggest it if you’re interested :)

          I think i fall into Douglas Adams’ trap. I can write a scene but I don’t have a good plot in me. Collaborative efforts help, like that one time my friends and I wrote a screenplay about 80s hair metal vampires (we were mad at twilight. it will never get made because it hinged on David Bowie being alive. vampires don’t sparkle they get GUITARS)
