Status Updates From A Murder Most Camp

This is moving quickly, and has depth I was not expecting. The moments of Mikey missing his mother are really getting to me. And the way he keeps a figurative arm extended to maintain distance from any authentic relationships feels believable. The mystery clues are a bit contrived, but I'm enjoying this enough not to feel critical about that.

I almost chucked this at the beginning because the third person-present tense writing style felt really clunky, but now I'm used to it and the story is turning into an enjoyable mix of tense and silly.
