Im experimenting a bit with adding more flavor to the stories. I refer you to Chapter Two of Crossing the Line that I just submitted. The discussion about the origins of a phrase, or why a bong is packed in just such a way. Not sure if it was too much or if it had the desired effect of making the story more immersive...
Also, I have added references to some specific songs in this chapter. I chose these songs so that if you (the reader) were to have them playing in the background, it will help put you in the intended mindset of the characters and situation.
I appreciate the positive responses Ive gotten so far, please feel encouraged to leave any feedback you may have.
