So that's how it all started -- kicking, head butting, arm twisting, .45 in the mouth, shotgun to the skull, crushed throat. Those chicks were pretty well trained at the police academy. Well written and humorous tale of action/adventure.

I'd suggest editing to clean up your line breaks. They're distracting to the reader.

    Lol. Yep, that's how it all began. Thank you for the great review and suggestion, Susan. Might I be able to get you to elaborate on the line breaks that are distracting to the reader so I can fix them? I'm more of a poetry writer than prose so I might have numerous things incorrect. I really appreciate the generous stars. Thank you again.

    There are some places where there is a "return" inserted in the middle of a line. Like this:

    I run into this problem often. It all depends on the zoom setting the reader has on their screen. I try to avoid that from happening but some folks have their screen zoomed in a little more and see it all differently that how it looks on mine. I'll reduce the font size and hopefully that will fix the problem. Thank you again.

    I don't think it's the font size. It's definitely an extra return. Sometimes FanStory reads a space as a "carriage return." Do you use advanced editor? When this happens to me, I just delet once and then add a space, because it will push the two words together.

    I'll give it a try.
