Dim! This is some mighty fine story telling AND ditto about the writing . Don’t even get me started on your fabulous title. Big congrats on the boost.
Wow about the near misses.
And about the pigs. I know about those sorts of thoughts. All too often on major highways, the truck carrying the dozens of live piggies-in-cages passes us . I think about the little critters in the next few miles. Yet I am not ready for the vegetarian or vegan journey.
