I like this. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks, Vincent!

Thanks, Susmita 🙂
Nice story that balances just on the edge of sentimental. Gumming together — great descriptive piece. Wonderful to see you in the mob!
Thanks, Michelle, and for organising it all. It’s been so much fun writing flash again (it’s been a while). Really loved it, and have been having a great time reading all the others.
Congratulations! This was one of my favourites 🙂
Thanks!
