My dear friend Paul,

I'm so sorry that I missed this awesome piece of short fiction when you first posted it. I have been all too busy with survival issues. This clearly needs greater exposure, leading me to ask if you would be kind enough to allow me to republish it on my blog?

I have done this once or twice before with other writing that I felt was outstanding and under appreciated...

I'm asking for permission to re-post your article in its entirety, unmodified, and clearly attributed to you with appreciation. Any and all Steem and SBD earned by the repost, I promise to transfer to your account after the payout window has closed.

Here are the two examples of articles I've been granted permission to reprint:

Standing by for your response... :D

😄😇😄
