I was about to type "I love it," but Queenie beat me to it, so I'll just second the sentiment.
I must admit to being momentarily confused at the start of the story, because I had originally thought the proprietor was Uncle Mike and I was surprised both that he was still around and that Lois hadn't seen him in all that time. I think I had blocked that other Mike from my mind.
I would have liked to have entered the challenge myself, but I didn't recall the last song I had heard before reading of it, so I decided instead to write a story based on the next song I heard. That was from my alarm clock app this morning. Somehow, I think a story based on the song "Lord of the Dance" would be bound to offend someone, either because it might be perceived as being sacrilegious or proselytizing, depending on what the story contained. Let's see what the alarm app dishes up for tomorrow's song...
This story absolutely stands on its own and does not need a sequel, but having said that, I would gladly read any that you chose to write.
Joy,
Lynn
