As I recall we discussed this some time back and compared it with another story you'd written which didn't earn so well. It's impossible to tell why one post is successful and the other isn't. There are so many variables, many of which don't reflect upon the quality of the post at all. At the risk of sounding obsequious, I have no idea why you don't get more support. I find most of your stuff entertaining and you have a very wry sense of humour which can be hilarious.

Very entertaining Michael! I sense Greg is toying with the “grass is greener on the other side” and the struggle of accepting “it is what it is.” He can’t help himself with the notion of  “what if” and “why me.” As if the gods are playing with him, to tease him. He appears to lack gumption and fortitude, confidence in his own decisions and hopelessly entertains himself with a magic prayer book; his only ticket to escape his life sucking wife in the prison he made for himself. He is too weak to take control and make a change...it would be interesting if one of the prayers gave him the power to loose the self pity and regret and miraculously make the best of what is rather than what if. Then maybe his wife might see him in a new light, a life with her he has only been able to fantasize about🤔
