Boy would that be alarming being told to skidaddle from a place wouldn't be easy to take, but I've never been in places like that, but I can imagine. An excellent post Ric, this covered the gamut of descriptive imagery and awakened the imagination of the divish level of activities going on. An excellent post my friend, blessings Roy

You held me captive, mesmerized by every word. I couldn't read fast enough. Your descriptions are phenomenally clear and often humorous. You put me in the club. I could see the players and hear the crowd, like watching a movie. Then you left me hanging onto a thread at the end, about to fall off. I hope I can hang on until you post Part 4. I'm loving this story.

Thank you so much, Lorraine, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. I'm glad I could put you in the action and make you feel like you were there. Of course, I hate having to pare down these parts and kill the momentum to keep the parts short enough. LOL. It's always a pleasure when those I read and enjoy regularly can be entertained by my foolishness. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Like the descriptions like "door ornaments" for ticket takers.
Seems a lot of action occurs at this joint.
Really like the first paragraph, just tells readers a lot is yet to come so do not run off until you read this.
So well written.

Thank you so much, Brett Matthew, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. There is nothing more encouraging than for the talented writers I read and enjoy regularly to take time to read my work and have nice things to say. Much appreciated, my friend!

Thank you so much, Jen, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. I'm just a goofy old boy who writes foolishness to keep himself entertained since slowing to a crawl in his own life. Damnit!. LOL. I appreciate YOU. XO Ric
Comment from Susan Newell
Ric,
I love your style. There are so many great phrases that I can't begin to pick the best. It's enough to say that I could easily envision every scene and character. Can't wait to find out what is going down next!

Thank you so much, Susan, for your generous review, kind words, and suggestions that always help me to knock a little of the dumb off my stories. I don't even think that physic is a word, is it? Well, at least I keep you sharp, since you never know what kind of silly blunder I might come up with next. LOL. Much appreciated!
-
Always welcome, Ric. Yes, physic is a word. The times I've heard it used was as a cure for constipation. :-) Look it up.
-
ROFL! Cure for constipation . . . huh, at least I'm good for something.
-
Your writing shows that you are good for the literary world as well. You have captured the genre and made it your own.

I love your fast moving story. There is no lagging, and I didn't see any mistakes. You do a great job, even if you don't edit. Have a wonderful Saturday. Shirley

Thank you so much, Shirley, for joining in to read another of my silly out-of-control farces. I'm just a goofy old boy who writes foolishness to keep myself entertained, since I've gotten too old to live it. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much, Nancy, for your generous review and kind words. I just like action, the more the better in my mind. I'm just a clown that has to keep something silly going on all the time. LOL. It's always nice to receive well done remarks from the talented writers who I read regularly. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from BethShelby
You pack your stories with some very interesting characters and a lot of action. It is sounds like a dangerous place to be and only for those with mega-bucks Something big is about to happen and Tucker wants Tammy Jo out of the danger zone.

Thank you so much, Beth, for your extra-special six-star review on another of my foolish and out-of-control farces. This is just how a silly old boy keeps himself entertained when he isn't reading his Fanstory friends. LOL. I appreciate YOU!

Thank you so much, RockinM, for your extra-special six-star review and kind words. I'm just an old boy being silly, trying to keep himself entertained. Doing something different than just reading all the time. LOL. I can't thank you enough for the outstanding review and encouragement. I appreciate you from the reading and reviewing departments.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
You've left a great hook. I can't wait for the next post.
Human sacrifices, unwittingly advancing to financial doom. & An ever-shuffling deck of unpredictability. (All your descriptions are really good, but I especially liked these two.)

Thank you so much, Barbara, my dear, for taking time away from writing to read my foolishness. I hope I can put a smile on a few faces. I notice you gave me four stars, which is probably more than I deserve. LOL. But, you didn't list any suggestions to make it better, which isn't anything like your reviews from the past. And since you've given me better grading on much worse, I had to wonder . . . LOL. Much appreciated!
-
Thank you for bringing to my attention. My finger must have rolled. I have made the corrections. I can't believe I would ever give you anything less than five stars. If it happens again, please tell me. I tend to have this problem often.
-
Barbara, my dear, I do it all the time. I even did to you once. Thankfully, you knew I didn't mean it, and I was able to correct my mistake. I didn't think you had given me a four intentionally, but there's times that you would be justified in doing so. LOL. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
-
I am. I hope your weekend if restful and great.
