I appreciate the wide lens on this whole story. You offer us an opportunity to look below the surface of a particular lifestyle, to see why someone would be in a position to break into a house to steal drugs and beat the crap out of an asshole (I'm presuming Daddy was an asshole because he put Lamb in the box, maybe he wasn't actually an ass). Underneath those choices lies a human who is struggling, who was never seen or heard, who doesn't know which way to go.
The craft of good writing is to open up a new world and allow us to see something differently. Well done Troy.
Thank you Donna - I've left it ambiguous as to the Daddy - there's def a dynamic in which what he did to Lamb isn't necessarily wrong in the context of power play, but knowing Lamb as we do, it triggered a very bad response. It was so nice to have you with us last night at the wrap party. 💜
Troy, exciting "Lamb" updates with regard to the audio rollout, as well as the upcoming wrap party — just rsvp'd! And wow, this latest chapter is fantastic. I found myself appreciating the humor in the opening paragraphs (the "twenty sticks of incense going at one time" got me laughing out loud), and then just stunned into silence as we get insights in Lamb's final days in SF. Excited to see how you close out this outstanding serial novel!
Wow! That was an intense chapter. I was totally engrossed.
And poor Lamb, it feels like he has just run into one bad person after another.
The way everything’s unfolding is incredibly gripping Troy.
Also, I won’t be able to make it to the reading party, as the time doesn’t work too well down here in Australia. But I’m very excited to read the end of Lambs story when it comes out. :)
No worries, my friend, I knew it was going to be difficult to accommodate time zones on every side of the globe. Thanks for being here every step of the way. 💜
So sad to see how strong Lamb is at the end and yet he wasn’t mentally strong enough to fend off the lawyers or didn’t realise what was happening to him earlier. So realistic as well.

Thank you, Jeff! Glad you can make it to the wrap party - it’s looking like it will be quite a merry gathering!
Amazing chapter, Troy! So much detail, so many crazy events. Gripping! Are we really this close to the end now?!
We really are, crazy to think! All caught up to Lamb’s rock bottom, his stint in rehab, and then 👻 Just wrapping up now… Thanks Nathan!!
Such a heartrending chapter, so real and grounded in what happens to many poor souls.
It's all too easy, I'm afraid. Thank you, dear Nadia. 💜

It’s been my pleasure :)
This one makes me ache. Poor Lamb....

It is sad, many a good person has been undone by drugs/self-medicating. Thanks Kate! xo
Absolutely, think you demonstrate well how anyone can fall into this x
The unraveling… it’s almost too much to bear…
It has been a very long unraveling - it's almost over, though. xo
We are nearing the end, poor Lamb.
Indeed, the end is nigh, but it has been since the beginning so you could almost put this in the zombie genre. ;) Thanks Martine!
brutally frank. its playing in my head like im in it. those dog tails are uncomfortable.
Are they? 🐶😉 Glad to know the realism is landing for you, Nick. Thanks!
