I thought this story was tops. A modern-fucked up Carver/Bukowski mash-up with a pinch of tenderness. Nice work man.

I loved this! Keen human insights, impressively and delightfully presented. Maybe it's just the Wisconsin connection, but I cared about these characters. Well done.

Since I complained so much about the last short story, I think it's only fair to point out that this story is excellent.

This was a great little piece - the writing was tight and consistant throughout and one could identify with the protagonist's feeling of exposure, of precariousness in every sense of the word, throughout. The use of multiple types of tension at once and the feeling of being almost in free-fall was palpable, and his moment of 'satori' was totally believable, if 'deranged'. I hope we see more from this author.

Really great story, I thought. Not the most erotic, but totally well-crafted. If anyone gives you shit for not being sexy enough, ignore 'em.
