Lent
- Ellen: What should I give up for Lent?
- Me: Your clothes!
- Ellen: Too late.
- Me: AHHH! ((shields eyes))
I know what you want. You want a story that won’t surprise you. That will confirm what you already know. That won’t make you see higher or further or differently. You want a flat story. An immobile story. You want dry, yeastless factuality.
