I keep thinking how these twisty thrillers of yours can be scripted into 20-minute films and loaded on a Youtube channel. Would cost as low as $30,000 for a decent film production - around $1,000 per finished minute - if you can find an investor.

Thanks. From your lips… I’m open to offers!

Interesting how you swung my thoughts wildly on this one: 1. she's leaving 2. she thinks of killing him 3. she thinks of killing herself 4. actually it was number 2 after all! Well done!

Such a dark and tragic tale and then the MacLeod touch. Suddenly, there's ironic humor blooming everywhere. A classic, my friend.

Brilliant. Scott, you are the master. Someone here said Hitchcock, but I'm thinking more like Twilight Zone!
