“You don’t forget a sandwich like that. I remember thinking that if it took being rich to eat like this, I’d probably have to get rich.” This is me every time I eat a fancy sandwich. I rhapsodize for so long everyone thinks I'm crazy. But now, thanks to you, I can point to a fictional character and say "I'm not alone!" At which point my friends will probably say, "But he was eating something really gourmet and you had a BLT from Subway." But you know what, Subway...Substack it's all the same.
Love it. Don't have much to say except that I always want these scenes to be like:
PAIN/FEAR OF DEATH
“THAT was for me”
REMEDY
“And THAT was for [Andre]”
THEN TWIST WITH MORE PAIN AND FEAR OF DEATH
“And THIS was for me again”
Obviously you and your characters in this situation aren't like that, but I can still fantasize. You know what? Nevermind you've inspired me to write a sketch of this myself - thanks!

This wins best comment.

Knock yourself out. Glad you also loved the non-sociopath version!
