I agree with Jim. There is a mind movie going on as I read this! I grew up not far from a swingin’ bridge, and the swimming hole on the other side of it, on down through the woods. Takes me back to those summer days swimming in the creek (which we pronounced “crick” ), drinking stolen beer, drying off beside a bonfire.
Bridget, I'm watching a very good movie in my head and when great writing like this accomplishes that, the result is golden. Just a joy to read. Thanks for sharing. - Jim
I really like Judith, sometimes, it seems you manage to describe her that makes me rethink all those times I had been as socially awkward 😅.
The last paragraph is a real nice cliffhanger too.
Also, Tim's joke reminds me a little to personal of a story. Swingin' bridges are only funny to a point and only if one is absolutely certain of the engineering quality that went into designing them because if one is doubtful, they cease to be entertaining.
I knew what the title of this chapter was AND YOU STILL GOT ME with the swingin' bridge. Oh gosh. That was so very tense and you completely sold me on how Judith had surely misread this situation. And I guess she did, but another way. (It doesn't help that a bridge collapse is on my top five list of fears. 🙃)
And that ending....oooh. Now I don't know who's the red herring, after all.

I love this! A town near me has a swingin’ bridge as its primary attraction, which was what gave me the idea.

Thank you so much, Jim! It’s been a joy to write as well!
This just keeps getting better! And I love the interaction between Judith and Morrissey.
Thank you! The bridge scene was a ton of fun to write.
Oooooooh. Snap. That's not suspicious at *all*.

Real fun chapter Bridget.
Thank you! Tim definitely has a penchant for pranks, that’s for sure.
You're so right about the "Follow me if you care." self pitying crap you'd see on a diary 😂. This is really enjoyable, Bridget.
Everyone who was once a teenage girl gets it. 😆 Thank you, Hanna!
Catching up. Gold, Bridget. Serial gold!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely loving it.
Completely got me. I was so ready to believe that was going to go somewhere else!!
I did quite enjoy using that title. 😂

It’s red herring-ception! 😂 The swingin’ bridge scene was so much fun to write, so I’m glad it was a trip to read!
SO good!!!! Can't wait for the next one. KIDS! Take a long long nap; mommy needs to write!
Thank you! I’ll relay the message to them!
The way I said out loud “OH DANG” at that ending
