Haha... why am I not surprised? There's always a longer story with you! I'm seeing a theme of revenge manifesting in your stories lately, although it is probably just the ones you have curated here. Is finding an audience here on Substack an unconscious way of avenging yourself on gatekeeping agents??? Btw there are some literary agents here, too.

I get an idea and I milk it to death. I like murdering the ones who deserve it as well. I’ll probably post the long version eventually. Chopped in pieces (appropriately enough)
