Oh goodness, did you have your running shoes on? I know that you didn't want to go back to the Hermitage Hall, but at least you would have been safe at night. Although you didn't think so.

This is a nail-biting chapter, Brett. You're imagery and dialogue carry it along smoothly, despite the heavy boots. :) Too bad there isn't a good Samaritan among the crowd. So we're left again to wonder the outcome. Well done.

Oh Yes! It sounds like a done deal. He has been apprehended I do believe. I can't wait to see how he carries on now. A smart kid would change his attitude. Maybe the truth would be a good place to start. Nice try on the get-a-way. Now he will have to talk his way out of it. Nancy:)

From everything you wrote, I would say you're in neck deep hot water. I want to know if you got out of it. You did a great job as always. Enjoy your day. Shirley

Desperate to see him escape, but I I can't see him getting away this time, which is a pity. You are writing this story very well, it's interesting and engaging. Noticed a typo: "irritated", not "iritated".

This was another finely written and well detailed chapter dealing with the music industry.
Throughout my lifetime.
I've seen quite a few wonderful artists come and go.
And they affected all Humanity.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh Blast it Brett! Why did you have to stop there? Of course I already used up my last six earlier. That's the problem with so much good writing and not enough sixes in the arsenal. Well done! I loved the wire Winnebago description of the shopping cart. I once ran from the law when I was twelve. The cop was so out of shape that I easily outpaced him. Unfortunately a fellow who hadn't been running for his life stopped me and I was too tired to resist. It was a minor thing, but I still caught hell at home. Oh well. I'm looking forward to the next edition.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

This is very compelling. Running from the police doesn't seem like a good idea. He'll surely get caught. His attitude isn't going to do him any good, either. I wonder how much money he had, as he was thinking of going Greyhound. I do like the way you start each episode with a song. I'm glad you included the lyrics for this one, as I'd forgotten them. "Stepping towards the officer" is an example of a dangling participle. You might say "As I stepped toward the officer" to clarify. judi

    You're very welcome. This is such a compelling story. It reminds me in a way of Mastery's story, "Falling up the Stars." Don't know if you read his book. judi

Dang it! A cliff hanger. I liked the action in this chapter. The pulse quickening as you try to get through the crowd. How horrible it feels to have strangers grabbing at you. Unaware of how desperate you were to get away. Another great one. Gretchen

:You're stretching out this cliff hanger chase and it feels like you are about to be caught if you can feel his hot breath. You're making a daring try and avoiding the cop. I think you've cunjured up the vision of Marie Laveau from the country song. The the real Marie was an attractive well dressed lady who was married to a Frenchman. I understand she was an good catholic and a women who visit prisoners in jail and attempted to help them. I'm anxious to find out how the pursuit ends.
