You are a truly gifted author. If ever you have doubts of your ability, for whatever it's worth, after reading this story I have absolutely no doubt.
Hi - someone sent me this note:
"You'd better come on in my kitchen." sounds like Robert Johnson's blues 'Come On In My Kitchen'.
I'm new here - there didn't seem to be any way to reply but I thought I would try here. I wanted to say, yes, spot on! "You'd better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's going to be raining outside." I actually painted that over the cupboards in the kitchen of my old place (which happens to be where the party in question took place.) The story was already full of musical references and that one amused me, so I am glad you got it as well.
And while I am at it, thanks for the kind comments! When I reread my stuff i can generally only think about what I should fix/change, so I really appreciate knowing that you liked it.
