“...the engine came to life in a wing-ding-ding sound and a cloud of smoke that had an oily smell.”

“I stomped into my room, slammed the door, and lay face down on my bed.” “Dad was standing in the driveway, grinning.” These are the sentences that make us feel what you felt, see what you saw, hear what you heard. Nice work. Justin.

I Have the Money is a delightful story. I felt I was seeing the world through a fourteen-year-old's eyes.

Scott, this is great--I hear your voice loud and clear, and all the details just really ring true. My brother was into motorcycles, but they scared the shit out of me for some reason so I stayed away.
