Another great chapter! It has a feeling of melancholy to it, that bitter-sweet taste of seasonal/work and travel life. Where life itself is condensed into much briefer, more intense chunks, everything feels more acute, bonds form quicker, and then are lost as people move on, just as in life in general, but on a shorter, more concentrated timeline.
Reading this chapter made me feel sad for younger Mike, it's hard to lose such a good buddy after having such a fun time together, even if you are happy for them. But there was excitement too, for what might be downwind of this coming change. As always, can't wait for the next one!

Thanks Malou! The next chapter isn’t far away :)
The submerged motor boat metaphor is top notch.
I’d like to hear more about the deVigration.
Thanks Kristi. I think I've devulged enough 🤣 Perhaps I'll write a sequel one day called "The Nitty, The Gritty and The Shitty". 🙈
