Ha! Guessing what's inside the packages is half the fun! Merry Christmas!

Holy shit! So good William. I've been running on fumes coming into the holidays and this story just had me smiling the whole time. Good wholesome fun!

Thank you, Bob! Wholesome?! 🤣

I haven't read a story like that for years. No offense but it won't worry me if I don't read another one like that for a few years lol. Well done.

Ha! That's all you need to say. I understand. 😅🤣

“The dogs took immediate interest in it” was my favorite line, until I made it to “She didn’t want the gift.” Beautiful, understated, perfect.

Ha! Thank you! You're especially great at writing beautiful, understated prose. Can't wait for folks to read your story next week. 🍻

That makes two of us - and it’s interesting that a “blob” of some variety makes an appearance in both of our stories - but this week is all about you. Killer work.

William Pauley III's avatar

Ha! True. We're the Blob Brothers! Thanks, man. I appreciate your kind words. 🙏

Yikes! An insane corruption of what it means to give of yourself!

Bob’s just taking Communion way too literally. He took the body of Christ to heart (or a jar).

Absolutely excellent work. The payoff s as grotesque as it is bizarre. Love it!
