I always want to and, sometimes do, write you comments that i dont send because though I like how your pieces make me think, im also pretty insecure! I'm also religious and though I agree mostly with your points, when i disagree on 1 or 2, I pause on posting, maybe because I'm over-sensitive or think i wont phrase myself as well as you, or maybe im tired like in writing this at 5am. Not sure why exactly,..

But anyway, just wanted to drop you a line to say that this story was so enjoyable and suspenseful, it helped me stop being afraid, not of you really, but I mean, of the bullies of the world like tRump. I liked this Ben Franklin quote,

"Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you."

I've known some Justins, but in my case they were Justines: The mean girls, the ones who did everything they could to diminish and destroy anyone they perceived as any kind of competition, whether physical or academic. Sadly, most of them never grew out of that ugly, adolescent stage and now they hang with the bullies but wear designer gowns, borrowed jewelry and attend state dinners.
