Stories I’ve loved on Medium this week
18.09.16
Like the number of videos in yesterday’s Chapter, there are only three Stories to recommend this week. But they’re all a bit deep if you really think about their meanings, so I guess the after-read thought commitment makes it a bit like I’m sharing six Stories.
Kind of.
Anyway, enjoy!
Of course Tricia and The Goodge were instantly shot on sight for their various bank till killthrills, and also for being a sub-par morning radio duo. Their gore mixed with our skin juice until it was impossible to tell where our love ended and their death began.

Plus, that title is pure perfection.

I’m not sure the answer is important.
What’s most important is simply knowing yourself: what makes you happy, what makes you sad and what really, truly makes you tick.
He gives me a high five and then dabs. I tell him, “Emmet, you can’t dab at your grandma’s funeral dude.” He looks up at me, “Yeah you’re probably right.” Unbelievably cute kid.
Jack Coyne’s daily shorts are my new favourite obsession. This one was a super enjoyable read, and Emmet sounds adorable.
