No Comet
Well, I guess it had to happen sometime: my first (and so far only) one-star review. I always wondered how I’d feel when the inevitable happened. Deflated? A little wounded perhaps?

[Note: Please listen to the prompted songs while you read, if possible. Pace is based on my own reading speed, so the length of the song may not line up with how quickly you read its aligned story segment - I recommend listening all the way through the song and letting the scene expand through the end, or you can just go forward with the new song even if you haven't finished the last, but don't start a new song before you finish reading the previous segment. Thanks.][silence]"Stoooooooop," I groan.The beeping www.onedoor.ccalarm stops and Google Assistant's robotic voice begins:"Good morning, Jamie. It's 7:...
