Great sense of place. Great dialogue too. I love how he gets hit with the conversation when he walks in. Also very funny how the oilman didn't know who Samuel Clemens was. lol
Thanks for reading, Andy! Glad you liked the tale. I actually based the oil man’s lack of knowledge on my own, as many years ago someone I was around started talking about Samuel Clemens and I had a similar reaction. Needless to say, I got schooled, haha.

Dope story!
Refreshing to come across someone with true writing skills!!
The waiter’s final whisper of "sellout" adds a perfect, stinging layer of ambiguity to the ending.
Great to have your voice on Substack. I have subscribed and look forward to reading more. I would love you to do the same, if my writing resonates.
