I just love how this whole text came together at the end. When the goat part started, I got properly hooked – until then, I was somewhat curious, at most, but then I got really drawn to the story. And then the end, muah!, chef's kiss connecting with the part that at first I wasn't giving importance to. Loved it! 🩷

The tie in at the end, as you can imagine, was the most difficult part. The number of rethinks and rewrites…. Perfect, I’m over the moon it worked!

Super! I was disappointed it was not a real story. Would not watch on Netflix though. Great, great. I would love such kind of a job, Jack.

I never thought of that. Yes, it would be good to be a goat renter!

Great story. Did it ever get made into a movie?

Nope. Neither Hollywood or Toho Cinema picked up its option. Sad.
