You should break this down into episodes and post on Kindle Vella...

yes, episodes would be good, but Kindle Vella is closing down. So, breaking it down into parts might help here or elsewhere.

I continue to love your stories and found myself wondering what this wold sound like as a podcast. The story has a feeling tone to it that lends itself to wanting to just close my eyes, listen and imagine.

David, I love the structure of your sentences (especially the snarky ones), reminds me of me to have you to speak on my behalf the next time some attempts to gaslight..... love this!

This was hilarious and yet somehow quite true: “War is so much easier to do now with the Internet, Google and MapQuest, don’t you think?” I also enjoyed reading about the Black-and-Whites from the 1930’s! Great writing, and I’m looking forward to sharing this with my girls!

Gotta get Woody Woodpecker and the Roadrunner on your side. They'll straighten things out...

Whirligig - never heard of that word before - I have also heard of spilling ink from a writer's context - not in such a context as you mentioned
