I really love how you write.

Also enjoyed how many places I recognized in the setting. Very well done!

Loved the short story. But didn't care for Ms. Richter, she's driving Matt to drink.

I hope that's a joke. Outside the parameters of a short story, in the real world there is reportedly a genetic component to alcohol addiction, not to mention the fact that Matt was socialized by two parents to solve problems by drinking.

Nice work, SER. Looking forward to the next installment.
