A human bar owner in a town filled with supernatural beings. I love the idea and loved the Marv The Bartender.

Thanks so much, Bill! It's a fun concept for sure.

Okay apologies for any ignorance on my part if this is supposed to be readily apparent, but actually now I am thinking that maybe Marv and Loraine staged the whole thing (their kids are fine), and knowing their friends would intervene with a heavy hand, have now effectively eliminated all their competition. Even though Marv gave out drinks for free, pretty soon he is going to be the only bar in the neighborhood.

I guess all I'm saying is this might not be the feel-good everyone thinks!

I actually had this same thought as I was finishing up writing this story. It wasn't the intent at the beginning, but I don't think it's an incorrect way to view the story by the end. Thanks for reading and for you thoughtful comment!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! This one was inspired by a Reddit writing prompt, which tend to bring out my more silly side I think. It's wild over there 😂
