I really liked this a lot, Candice. Any writing that keeps me smiling throughout is, for me, the best thing that can happen. I forgot it was you, that it was your penwomanship, very early on. That's a compliment to your engaging style and technical strength. Neat idea, too. Love footnote three: you're so right - the total tonnage of albums that I feel should have been celebrated rather than horribly overlooked could stun a team of oxen. I will return to your next piece, while undoubtedly catching up on your previous. Keep on keepin' on ol' girl.
Nicely done and enjoyable. I particularly like the idea of marking time with a minute timer of cremation ashes- or an hour glass if you really liked the deceased. Pour forth your words Candice!
Wow, Candice! Incredible. Creative, inventive, hilarious... I love your style! I had no idea you were such a talented writer. Wow. I recently found a new favorite author, but you've unseated him after his very short reign. And the footnotes... brilliant!
LOL. Thank you so much cousin. I've never written fiction in my whole life until Mr. Palahniuk offered a workshop. I never wrote anything really. Like ever.
Ah they work because we all have footnotes buried in our story that can deviate wildly from the planned lecture of our lives. Like the pole dancing professor or meth cooking high school chemistry teacher.

Humorously entertaining! A page turner while surpassing the limits of human ingenuity! Still laughing out loud...keep them coming!

Oh, I so loved this story! I'd hire you in a second!
Poor old Mittens, wish I’d met her. Fantastic writing. Please give us more!
It's a good thing that we are not our body! Great writing!
Outstanding! Had me laughing well into it. More please!
Exactly my sense of humor (and the business idea could even work 😁 understood). Congratulations👏
I was all in and applaud this ghastly foray that had me belly laughing and scratching my head simultaneously! 👏👏👏
Darkly funny! The bucket list items had me in tears. The footnotes work and I have not figured out why. Congratulations.
To put it another way: We are not who we say we are. So much stays in the dark.

Thank you, Uncle!
I watched intently,
the rodeo clown tumbling through the air,
mockingly returning death's unbroken stare.
