You seemed to be leading up to something, but i really missed what it was!
Is there a sequal?
This man has some really vivid dreams.
He won't have any luck of drawing up the same dream; I never did.
..need descriptions since they don't know what sex really is.
Could have done without the line about wanting to ass fuck her and the ending was a bit quick but overall well done
Great story, nice twist. Take a bow, it's well deserved.
I laughed til I almost pee'd. What an ending
what a cop out for an ending.
Makes the whole exercise pointless.
So, what was the story here?
I suppose that if you've never taken this cold remedy before the end of the story would make little sense to you. Being an unthinking American, I appoligize to all of the readers that are not familiar with this American Icon drug. LYG
NyQuil either knocks me out with clogged up sinuses in the morning like it does you or wires me up so I can hardly sleep at all.

The cold bit was great foreshadowing, but I never caught on until the very end. Things were just so weird that I continued reading to find out WTF was going on! Great story, thanks for sharing!
Never quite the same perspective and some really nice ones to boot -
Not at all where I saw that one ending up - nice work -
I understand the problems associated with cough syrup and sanity. but I do not understand the twist at the end of the story. was there an ATF (FBI doesn't investigate counterfeiting) raid? Did he die? Is he divorced from Pam?
Is it Mast or Mask? sometimes the story goes one twist too far.
Got the Film Noire feel right. I could picture the dark and pouring rain as the gravelly voice narrates. He spoke as if it was an internal monologue that we were privy to. Well done.
This train really jumped the track at the end. The result is the story doesn't make any sense.
Take off of the movie "Wisdom". Wasted ninety minutes of my life on that joke of a movie. Wasted another ten minutes reading this, this ....?
What did you do, get tired of writing? Most of the story was pretty good until they got into the hotel room & had a gun pulled on him. The story went to hell right after that. There was no ending! Nothing makes sense at the end. Too bad. You have potential, if you can figure out how to finish a story. Only a 2. A decent ending easily jacks the rating to a 4 or better.
What a fucked up ending.
All a dream. I am not creative enough to end it for you, but, it could have been so much better.
You wrote well, had a nice drama going, but you just lopped it off and "he woke up"
Well, at least it was short.
The ending makes no sense. The rest of the story was a B-Rated detective story
I was wondering about the low rating of this story. It started out good but then it was like the ending of another story was tacked onto the end. It didn't make sense. Sorry, but no.
"It was all a dream!" Nothing like taking a good story then dropping it in the toilet. I had my suspicions when he saw Pam at the hotel and didn't even think about his daughter but it turned out even worse than I was suspecting. It was also weird that Viv didn't object at all to fucking a guy who was coughing and sneezing everywhere.
Nice opening premise but it all went to shit at the end. Write another, serious story about a broke P.I. who got a raw deal from rich bastards and an ungrateful wife and I'd be glad to give it a read. Don't waste our time with this kind of drivel, though.
well, this was an absolute piece of drivel.
it started out pretty promising actually, but the ending just flushed it all into the sewer.
I had the same result with Nyquil! Give the author five stars and the cold and flu version of Mucinex!
Hehe it was all a dream. Pam.eaking him up, the Nyquil, and the second to last sentence and the tag. Clever.
Very well written story that was killed when it became a dream.
Never knowing if we mark on the quality of telling or how much we liked the story, I haven't left a mark.
Fantastic story apart from the last 5 what the hell happened there I would have given 5stars but that last 5 just didn’t fit the story
