wow, so sad - I've always felt (hoped) there was slightly more to Todd Packer than we see whenever he comes stumbling through the office... great work!

Thanks, glad you liked it! I just hope they bring back the big T this season, I've missed him!

Oh wowww, this is great! Did my heart just get wrenched by Todd Packer? Good God. I am so impressed that you even wrote this at all, because the one character on this show that I just know I cannot capture and therefore stay away from at all times is Todd Packer. And not only did you write him, you wrote this beautiful sad thoughtful piece! Gaaaah, so good. It is striking how well this encapsulates him, with all the yucky gritty Packer-y details, and it is just so empty and sad and stifling -- so, so well-done. (And HE DID MEREDITH. Of course.)

Really, really excellent.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'm surprised I wrote it too, it felt so gross to think like Todd Packer. I put myself in some weird places and even then I couldn't get it right. This was like my therapy piece for a month, forcing myself to get all yucky in Packer's mind was catharctic. Thanks again :)
