i know the rules said you could use as many ficlets as you wanted, but I did it the old fashioned way and just made one ficlet. It was hard to fit everything in!

A tragic ending and really a tragic supporting character in Marty.

Very tragic. I think you may have done too good a job fleshing out Marty here. He really takes over the story, but I guess that’s the point of the challenge. Good job overall.
