Ha! I love the author's note just as much as the story. Good one, Frankie Raz. (this is what I imagine your gangster name would be ...)
Thanks for the love on this one, Cynthia. Appreciated!
Clever and cute with a dollop of horror. So very Soprano. Nice job.
Yes, you have the Jersey voice down. Terrific. Like it much.
Terrific, hilarious. No horse's head in your bed, Frank. Fav!
Loved the rhythm and dialogue and black black humor in this. Badaboom. :)
Wild ride.
This is ridiculous, and I mean that totally as a compliment. Good stuff.
