FIRST OF ALL...

  ....the team behind Space Pickle would like to start with a simple message to all our free-loaders readers at mid-story:

  It has been a pleasure sharing our work with you on Royal Road so far!

  The second part of PACHINKO BLUES is coming next!

  Both those two blocks are links! You can click on them.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  All the best and love,

  Space Pickle
