I especially like, as always, the smart and world-weary tone of the witch. I could hear her bad-mouthing her dumb clients all day...

I think the middle bit about dissociation being a like pleasant bunny furry suit was really interesting but maybe not too appropriate to the rube in question. I'd love to have it developed and recycled into something where it becomes more part of the tale.

Had to reread it, I’d forgotten about that bit. Actually yeah… that would be fun, a little furry dissociation. Easy enough for me, it’s my preferred coping mechanism lol.

😂 For some reason I kept picturing Tim Pool as the influencer...it must have been the beanie!

I hope you anthologize these in a book some day...

😂I have no idea who that is. Hopefully someone who deserves a furry tongue!

He's a YouTuber who always wears a beanie because he's bald...😂

Ugh, yeah, most of those YouTube bros drive me nuts and I tend to avoid that whole corner of humanity.

But the hat was just a convenient narrative device, it also being cold and all, lol.
