Thanks, 'asktheButt'!! Much appreciated. I grew up in the Mojave desert and that region tends to come up in my stories. I'm very new to this platform. I've shared a couple of things on Reddit before (this story as well, in case someone comes across it). I'm in tech, a bit burned out, so it's nice to have a new venue to express a little creativity!
