I haven't addressed questions like yours here since I was working on my master's degree, and they made me anxious. I was afraid of lowering my GPA, so, I will just say this was one of the best line: "... if Menelli says 'Jump', you jump; and if Menelli says 'Die'... " Perfect. I never figured you for a pulp fiction kind of guy, but you have a great start here. Move over Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett! They got nothin' on you, kid.
Gloriously Chandleresque, Terry: in fact, a GREAT crop of potatoes! I love a good send-up! 🤣
Okay, I'll play. Here are the chips I've carved your spuds up into, in an effort to answer your 'questions':
1. This question does not fit my frame of reference for this text sample.
2. None.
3. See 1.
4. St Lincham's is a place that Terry McCain Freedman Chandler has simply described as somewhere 'that you don't want to walk through at night' - sure, that could describe an open-air lunatic asylum, but it could equally describe the milk train to Brighton...! More potatoes needed for evidentiary mashing.
Omg. I shouldn't be laughing like this in my condition. 😂😂😂. The writing style was indeed inspired by Raymond Chandler. Your comments and answers are a hoot. So do you think I should work on chapter 2?

Thanks, Sharron 😂
I'm going to need some time to answer those questions. They require deep, serious thought.
This was great Terry. Love the noir. I can feel it, it seeps from the page. It's not usually my kind of genre, but I'm down with this.
More please.
You should read Raymond Chandler, Nathan. Brilliant writing, not without humour. I'll try and come up with more though!
Noted! Thanks.
You won't regret it
For example: "It was so quiet in Victor’s that you almost heard the temperature drop as you came in at the door."
That lady was all over him like a cheap suit... hah
lol

Okay, you weaseled out of that one. But throw a couple extra potatoes in the pot and give me a call. I never met a carbohydrate I didn't like.
OMG 😂 😂 😂

YES PLEASE to chapter 2! Will Fox get his man? Will anyone get the girl? Reckon Menelli is toast…
Pretty sure anyone could get that girl, Rebecca.
You can't judge a book by its cover
Yeah, I was kind of wondering which ONE of them would... but you're right, I'm not sure she's all that discerning...! 🤣
cheek!
😂😂
Keep on keeping on!
I'll try!
Just the sort of things my English lit students hate!!! Keep up the great work - I won’t have a word said against the sleepy small towns though...!!!
Thanks 😁 What do they hate? That genre, Chandler, or parody?
Having to think analytically in any way shape or form - we are not talking about high flyers here!
😂
