That skeleton is a vibe and a half, maybe even 21 1/2 vibes.

He probably has immaculate taste in bourbon and now I wish to know his thoughts.

The skeleton was so much fun to write and I’m very certain it loves bourbon

It was so cool to see a town just as strange as the Four Forty-Four. Watching the roles flip as the skeleton became like Orrin and Orrin became like his own customers was intriguing. I would love to see more interactions like this in the future.

Also, the bit about Little Sir Menace biting the dragon’s ear made me grin. It is so cute.

There will be! And yes, Little Sir Menace is the absolute dearest little thing, if he wants to be (or if there’s pastry)

So glad you enjoyed it 💛

Note: I haven't read the full thing yet.

WHY must you break my heart with Little Sir Menace and Orrin's adorableness?? 😫

My boyfriend picked the color yellow, i blame it on that 🥹 however, i had the most fun spending an entire short story with Little Sir Menace. I dread the day he finds a home
