wow.

That...got my attention.

Strange thing about this? It...felt like me.

Not that I'm Kev, but that's how my heart feels most days....

"...with the gentle plod of someone who wasn’t entirely sure why he was going, only that someone had asked—and that felt like enough."

Yup. That feels like my life.

I adore this, Jon.

I loved Kev's beginning of the heros journey. It's short and simple and leaves us with a lot of curious questions. Let me read part 2

From the first sentence of Kev alphabetizing his biscuit tins, I was hooked! The humor in this piece is masterful, gentle, engaging.

The Bureaucrat of Chaos? He’s a hoot too, with a half eaten celery stick, watching through a smudged spyglass.

I am not only eagerly waiting for the next chapter… I want the whole book!
