Your story, of course, is terrific. More terrifying is the huge number of comments by Medium members who did not KNOW you could clap more than once! (And one or two that didn't realize you could clap at all.) When I get one clap, I re-read my story to try to understand what was deficient and consider what I could do to improve it. I was under the delusion that readers actually thought about the claps. Stupid me.
