“Any more words of wisdom?”“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”“You come up with that, yourself?”“It’s Shakespeare.”“When have you read any Shakespeare?”“It says it on this small piece of paper, quoting Shakespeare.”“I thought you only read stuff when it’s got pictures in it.”“I’ll have you know that we are living in the new age of literary enlightenment.”“What, reading comics?”“They’re starting to be referred to as graphic novels, now.”

Outstanding reviews

Had a great laugh reading this, Chris 😂😂😂Especially loved all the realistic and lively dialogue between the two “mates” (….if you can call them that… 😬)
Thanks, Shirley.Glad to have made you laugh.
Really fun putting their voices and intonations in my head with all that dialogue.
Thanks, Hazel.Glad the accents came through.
Lol!! Where to even start 😂 these two and their problems are hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, Chris!
Thanks, Nina.In case you missed the first two episodes of Tom and Eric, here are the links:"May Day" https://blog.reedsy.com/short-story/t9xlck/"Early Release" https://blog.reedsy.com/short-story/ul5omg/
Haha, fortune cookie wisdom for the two characters. Love them and their antics. I expect to see all their tales in an anthology one day.
Thanks, Michelle.They will return.
Resurrected these characters. They never do quit.Thanks for liking my 'Run Forest Run ' story.
Thanks, Mary.Tom and Eric roll on.
Ha! These two again :) Feels like they need their own TV show or something. It's a real friendship though. There's a lot of genuine well-meaning - even if the execution is half-arsed - but the heart is there. I think this kind of recap format works for them too, as we see a very mundane situation which quickly grows in scope and screw-up, as we learn more of the history. Very funny :)
Thanks, Michal.As much as Tom regards Eric a challenge to his sanity, I think he wallows in the loyalty presented to him. A TV show could very well work for these two, but it would need a bit more substance than Dumb and Dumber, for beneath the screw-ups, there is true friendship.As always, your great feedback is always appreciated.
