Thanks for the read man. Wasn’t sure how well this would resonate with my audience here but your seal of approval is enough to dispel doubt

Seriously it’s cool as hell it has this silvery slick kinda horny kinda violent thing in like an 80s post punk kind of sense. Lot of feelings lot of vibes and a lot of fun

I've always felt like I've got a bit of an 80s scourge in me somehow one way or another, so I appreciate the validation. Perfect Blue being a North Star for this along with Bright Lights, Big City probably explains the heightened neon slick of this one.

Vibes >>> most everything else. I struggled with maintaining a consistent vibe on this one, but once I got it, I rode it out until its natural conclusion. Knowing how much I enjoyed writing these boys out, you'll probably see them again in another story

The ending feels like a late Chang Cheh film; garish, pent up gorgeous homoerotic bloodbath.

Thank you kindly for the read, Alex. The Chang Cheh shoutout is much appreciated as well even if I was not thinking about that at all. Glad you liked it!

thank you man! this one's very dense and i don't really know if anybody will pick up on everything but as long as the broad strokes are being felt, that's what matters to me. Always appreciate the read my man.
