Hello, Paul,
A great story and great storyteller you are. The narrative and dialogue holds the reader\'s interest to the very last line - \'Im not selling anything.\' Brillant! Very well done indeed.
Kind regards,
Tony.

There’s a damn good supernatural twist here, because the story starts like a quirky doorstep encounter and slowly turns into a carefully constructed bargain where saving your own life means unknowingly sacrificing someone else. The final reversal is the killer—“I’m not selling anything” coming from the dead husband’s door turns the opening scene back on itself and makes you realize the cycle of soul-taking has only just begun.

I have notice Paul some people are soulless they can be told by their taste in music. If they don\'t like the blues they are soulless. A fun read my friend It seem that I remember this one from a while back. I have dusted a couple of mine off as well changing a word or two. Loved it my friend made me smile.

Tough Girl
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this is fucking intense. What got me was the shift from wanting revenge to realizing revenge would just give the bastard another way to occupy her life. Then that little bit of humor creeping back in feels like the first glimpse of herself returning. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Unconventional therapy at times works and even humor can be a good intervention. Nicely done Paul

There is a feeling of cold neglect here where the homeless and downtrodden must fend for themselves in an uncaring world. Lonely, hard and sad Paul.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn playful, bawdy rhythm here, and the whole exchange works because the two characters keep trying to outsmart each other while neither is willing to surrender the upper hand. The ending is the keeper for me—“I appear to be VPL free tomorrow” neatly turns the whole ridiculous argument back into flirtation, with just enough unresolved tension to make you want to hear what happens in that diary meeting.
