Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Quite the adventure. Loved it.
Oh cool, you completely ran with it! This is like a hodge podge of shopping lists, to do lists, and life goals, lol. The arc here is grand; feels like it covers years, but is really only a few weeks. Amazing job!
Mommy!
Lol, this reminded me of the Hangover movie! Loved your take on this challenge!
Loved the way you ended this. Made me laugh out loud.
