Oh wow, I would not have expected that at the end! At least this time Grant could go about his life in all the peace and quiet he needed, ironically enough. But there's just something exhilarating about leaving one's abuser behind (I'm thinking of the wife's cheating on Grant, minimizing him) And I don't even feel bad for those two "lovebirds."
What a cool story, Scott! Short and sharp. I really enjoyed it!
I think we all have. Just came back from a 2+ mile walk and played a little pickle ball for the first time with my son. Whoever said that is a old person sport is out of their freaking mind. Thought I was going to have a heart attack trying to chase that stupid little wiffle ball in the wind. I told him he is out of my will.

Thx as always for reading and supporting and incisive commentary
Short, sweet, poignant
Thank you!
Oh boy - you turned such a human moment we all get paranoid about into a great story!
Thx!
you had me at "appliance noir"
😊
oh. my. boom.
Indeed😊
Hope it blows
Another word to be careful of
Ha. Lotta minefields to worry about
Short term, memory, my constant companion unwanted. Scott love love love your endings. Are you sure you're not related to Alfred Hitchcock?
Thx ha I wish, although lately I seem to have inherited his waistline 😊

My secret for senior pickleball survival: commit to not moving your feet, if you can’t reach it standing still kiss it goodbye😊
I think that's great advice. Can't wait to see the look on my son's face when I'm just standing there.
What a day. 😬🤣
Good story, Scott.
Thx Mark!
Great ending. Put one in the win column for OCD.
Thanks, yes it’s just doublechecking, like proofreading!!
So, who was gaslighting whom? Great. I'm inspired to write a story of gaslighting that ends with someone lighting the gas for real.
I have been called a Gasbag so this is a natural.
Terrific story. As usual
Thanks for reading!
Great build up of tension.
Thanks Vicky!
This from another obsessive who can never remember if she locked the door: Excellent story!
Thx yes for me it’s the toaster plug
A dandy Scott. Great job. - Jim
Thanks Jim.
Brilliant story.😊
Thank you!
