What if?
The misshapen slug of steel lay untouched on the table, a terrifying monster more likely to kill me then anyone I pointed it at.

Dear Larry,
I’m a little bothered. You know how I’ve always wanted to be a rich and famous author, like Rowling and Seuss? Well, I’m kind of afraid of doing that now, and I’ll tell you why. I’m afraid someone is going to take me too seriously. Yeah, that’s right: too seriously. You know, like that HubbardContinue reading “Dear Larry,”
Dear Sandwich with a Pretty Big Pickle In It Corp
