Welcome to Friday Fictioneers, Gus
Thank you so much for having me! 🙂
Great story, a set up to a larger one perhaps. Long live the Resistance!
Yes! Long live the Resistance! I think mine pairs nicely with your story. When social media goes dead, what other creative ways can we use to communicate to the masses? Thanks so much for taking the time to read 😀
I like what bits and pieces you told of a larger story. Makes me want to know more.
Thank you so much! I have considered maybe crafting a follow up.
You are off to a nice start.
Thank you so much Danny!
