Thanks, Scoot. I am shocked this story was in the Substack Reads Digest. And pleased. It is good to know some of us "little guys" are getting spotlights.
I haven't had much luck with their digest suggestions.
Thanks, 3. I have been doing Justin's "fifties" for years. Since back in our Medium days. But I have been sporadic about it the last year or so. I am hoping to be more consistent. It is a good writing exercise. 🤓
Ah, Mark. How the world dearly loves a dreamer. I see both the spark of optimism and the acceptance of reality in these few lines. Both are essential. Beautiful work!
Thanks, Sharron. Yes. We must have dreams. Big and small. Because the small ones are more likely to come true. But we must also face reality. Life is always give and take. Good and bad.
FINALLY a good recommendation from substack reads digest! Great story, Mark!

Me neither! This was a pleasant surprise!
I have gotten one or two good ones. But mostly they are things I am not interested in.
So much said in so few words! Brilliantly written.
Thanks, Jilly. 🤓
Excellent ... so much packed into this short burst. Makes you want to learn more about this character
Thank you, JoJo and Barrie. 🤓
Really appreciate the mention, Mark! Thank you. Loved this one!
Thank you, Justin.
Quenched and thirsty!
Love how you have given an assist to Justin’s 50 word play!!! Maybe somebody new will join next week because they read this?!

I like to jump right in it when the prompt comes through because it is such a fun opportunity/exercise.
😁
Justin rocks!
I agree. Justin rocks!
Sweet!

Nicely concise.
