I got up super early to film this today, so the lighting is bad and I’m wearing glasses. And my trusty bathrobe makes its first appearance. Still, I’m committed to this thing and I’m going to see it through! Also, this story is hilarious and highly recommended.
2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 13
“Am I dead?” That line changed the story for me, made me (over)think about things a little, but I do love me some magic realism. I loved the characters’ antics (Sab, the boobs, the dildo) and the dark’ish humour. It read very current, yet somehow of the past.

It seems like she has a thing for ghosts.
I hope your supermom powers came through for you today, Anne!
I would still eat it too! Yeah, I’m with you on the profanity. I hear enough of it without reading it too – it always seems lazy to me. It doesn’t offend me, it just bores me…
I enjoyed your video, but am about to pass out in bed, so from me it’s just zzzzzzzz tonight!
understood! haha
