Saying goodbye always hurts
Hello, Readers All,
The unwelcome day arrived this week. The week my ancient, somewhat senile old street-rescue tabby cat was done. 17 years put her chronologically past 80 years if she'd been a mere human. AleXander went with me to the vet and we left the cat carrier behind. Unless some very determined cat sets up housekeeping in the apartment, yeah no. We're done.
But she doesn't seem to be done with us.

Another recent death of note had this old memory float up from the depths.

But through it all, I am adamant on this fact: Social Media Does Not Depress Me. Are you kidding? Look around, Cupcake. Take your pick of about ten gazillion things that are MORE depressing than Twitter. Yep, it's come to this.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
And the hits keep coming. No relief in sight, not even from my partner in life and art:

And after all that, am I really going to nudge the hat by the door in your direction? Oh, hell yes. This was real work, muh Readers!
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteMoreover, I'm really going to push things. At the bottom of each of my stories lives a link to subscribe to Medium. This magic link funnels half of your monthly subscription fee into my personal account. Aside from that nifty bit of information, in all seriousness, if the friend links I'm putting into this weekly free-for-all, let me know. Chains will be yanked.
Let's go for the trifecta of begging, do note the gentle blue link below that gives you the option of subscribing at the premium level to this fine weekly missive.
Ok, I'm done with all the annoying shit. If you're finding yourself with unexplained agita and or fully explained astral-planing, you know where to send it: Remington.write@gmail.com
Now to the really important part: Thank you. A hundred thousand thank you's to the faithful who don't unsubscribe and even open the email and even READ the stories. My god, you are beyond awesome!
This was fun. Back to work.
Much love,
RW
