This author demonstrates, at least in my view, the reason Substack exists as a vehicle to showcase ones writing. I have just finished this latest chapter by John Mistretta about the mysterious journey of a young man trying to understand a riddle behind a small card left on his door. Despite his trepidation, it beckons him to find know what the numbers on it mean. These extraordinarily well written chapters keep me in anticipation for the next to be published and it isn't behind a paywall, so I am not only free to enjoy the wonderful content, but I learn so much about how to write with style and suspense.

To anyone who likes talented authors or aspires to create their own works, I encourage you to dig into these deliciously crafted morsels of art. I think you will find them worthy of your time.

I know I express my thoughts in a rather clumsy manner, but I really wanted to express to anyone who will listen how much I enjoy your style. You write like no other that I've read, almost like you mimic the mental processes that go through my own head at every waking moment, sans the agoraphobia. It's eye opening as nobody has put into words how the world really appears to, well, someone like me. Perhaps it's odd, but that's just the way the pastry crumbles.

Sadly, I'm presently more broke than a New Year's resolution or I would be a paid sub, but at least I can offer moral support as I look forward to your next drop!

I’m glad it comes across that way, it’s exactly what I’m going for with Will’s perspective. Your kind words mean enough!
