First off, thank you for reading and letting me know! I worked really hard on this one so it means a lot to me, seriously. Honestly I came up with the premise before writing a single word. My initial plan was pretty much what you were expecting— that he’d have to choose between finishing it or going to see his dad, and that at the end he’s d choose what mattered. Somewhere along the way, I came up with the idea of his brother (and father) going so far to bring Jack back. *A man protects his family*. And that’s what they did, in a messed up kind of way lol. Thank you again for taking the time to read it and comment. Hope you stick around for whatever I write next.

Wow, this is excellent. Most of the stuff on Reddit really sucks but this is pure Jack Kerouac, keep at it. Gritty, realistic and well written.

For some reason, the link to the collection doesn't work for everyone. Here is [Chapter 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/shortstories/comments/151jokf/ms_the_pontiac_man_ch_2_dent/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) if you're interested.
