Everything was leading to the eventual ending but it was still a great story. I could see Denzel and Don in both characters as I listened.

Great listen.

Loved everything! Everyone needs a friend like Mouse! Crazy asf and will do anything for their friend. I’m so disappointed about EdaMae, though not surprised. I kind of saw that coming and Easy is the one that set it up. Another awesome narrating job from Michael Boatman!

Excellent!
