A modern through the looking glass. A tale of what ifs and whys and what nows. There’s an underlying desperation but also a strange sense of calm. Really well done. Worth another read.
Mr Long. immense respect. The spoon was a genius touch. The aching sadness. the magnetic inevitability of the black hole, but it's the world that is black, his life is the hole and the hole is the light.
Gorgeous writing, Keith. As someone in recovery, this made me feel a whole lot. Every story you write, you write with experience. Even down into the dark, there's no difference. Good on you for those immersive talents.
Thank you and thank you and thank you. I'm glad it didn't feel gimmicky or ignorant - giving a voice to voiceless things is pretty much the highest goal and compliment
Kim is a spoon. My God.
She is.
Bleak but also beautiful. So good, thank you.
Thank you, Richard - I'm glad those feelings came through
I really love this, Keith. Nobody sees, but you shared a glimpse here
Thanks🙏means a lot
Gorgeous and also very sad. 💔 The voice is so strong, too. Beautifully written. The hole is an attractive but deadly place to go.
Thanks, Emily 🙏 I'm glad it made you feel something
A lot of things 💗
So depressing but still somehow a fun read. Loved it
Thanks very much 😬
When you feel it deep - the darkness, doom and hopelessness, you know the writing is good. Great job Keith. - Jim
Thanks Jim, means's lot to hear from the writers i love reading🙏
There are a lot of Jimmy Tooth’s out there. This was a great one.
Thanks Nick 🙏

Thanks Garden - means a lot to hear from those I respect 🙏
There is a lot to like here Keith but "gone like the sleeves on a vest" got me good.
Thanks - and yes, its a golden line. Heard it from a nurse when I worked in a rehab.
Nice work Keith. I kept hearing Cat Power's In This Hole while reading it, which really fit how bleak it felt.
I don't know it, I'll have to check it out - thanks for reading 🙏
Great voice! Has a dark lyricism•
Fucking love this spoon
Thanks man. 😬
Mr Long. immense respect. The spoon was a genius touch. The aching sadness. the magnetic inevitability of the black hole, but it's the world that is black, his life is the hole and the hole is the light.
genuine sadness welling up. powerful writing Keith. 😎
Thank you so much Nick, your words sink into my soul and will sit there till they resurface on imposed syndrome days <3

You're a brilliant writer. Great story, perfect pacing, loved the voice of the character.
Wow idk what to say! Big compliments!🙏 Thanks so very much!
The voice here is exquisite. Jimmy Tooth is a character destined to become a classic. I loved every word of this.
Thanks, Liz 🙏 I hope Jimmy lives in peoples heads and makes them think
