Wow. Thank you very much!
EDIT: I don't want to go too far with the self-promotion on here, but the story comes from an ebook collection I just released. It's only 99 cents for Kindle, if you're interested. I could really use the feedback from fiction lovers like yourself. The only copy I've sold was bought by my own father and his criticisms are a bit biased. haha
Hey. Thank you, that means a lot to me. If you have a Kindle, you can download the full collection for free until midnight tonight (21st). There is a free PDF on the site, too. Appreciate the kind words.

Actually, it's also free on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T06KWF8 Does that help?
Just to let you know the collection the story is from is free on Kindle for the next few days if you fancy grabbing a copy - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01943SIIO/
Ah, he's a big fan of using brand names and ™, © symbols in his work. If you're anyway technical (even if you're not actually), I highly recommend reading Microserfs.
