Just reread this on my lunch break. This one belongs in an anthology.

Hell yeah, man. Isn't it so great?? I don't really have any power over this, but my goal is to get one of these stories anthologized. I'm obviously incredibly biased, but there's a handful of stories on here already that are among the best stories I've read in years.

So emotional and bittersweet! It reminds me of the conflicted feelings that come with the end of high school (or any chapter in one's life). I loved the banter between the friend group and it was so heartbreaking, yet emotionally satisfying, to see how they grew apart with time. Great read, and I hope to see more of your work in the future!

You know what I think? The Norton Anthology of Short Story, Long. That’s what I think. Like three years from now. I’m speaking it into existence. It is decided.
