June 4th & 11th, 2018 - Fungus

Dear TNY,

I couldn’t be bothered to finish "Fungus."  I do hope they buy a car. Or Subaru (I forgot this was a commercial for Subaru, Geico, and Kraftwerk; my bad).  Or don’t. Or whatever. They are devoid of any actual human characteristics so I failed to care about them.  Note that I am currently bored out of my goddamn mind and I still could not be bothered to finish.

It seems as though your strategy for this week’s delivery of three stories at once was to grab the nearest stack of papers, sprint to the printer, and say, “That’ll do, Donkey.  That’ll do.” I’m not sure why I pursued an education in literature nor why I continue to practice in-depth reading and/or writing when all it takes to edit fiction for TNY is a heartbeat and lungs that work.  God, have I gone wrong somewhere.

I do personally want to thank you for being so inept at your function.  You serve as a great example of what not to be.

Nick
