absolute madness. very engagingly written! i love how the words are as mad as the concept is itself. some lovely combinatu and also... toilets... still I find anything toilety to be curiously fascinating. my fiancee hates this in me. NICK WE ARE STILL EATING FOR GODS SAKE.
That was so amazing. I wish I was tripping constantly on haberdashery and thinking things like "this little, fragile, thin, wimpy, mundane, dumb thing witnessed the hell of my most potent biology, only to reemerge resplendent with the screaming pigments of eensy anatomies."
I'm ready to swallow entire tailor shops of clothing if it makes me write like that.
I was like "I have so many questions" but at the same time, I did not want to know the answers. This was wacky. Absolutely bonkers. I really enjoyed it.
"Erica's off in an hour; it will be poetic for her to be in my gut beside what she served, dying the fibers of my newest garment." Why do I get Silence of the Lambs vibes? 😅
Hey Will. Dealing with some stuff right now, but I couldn’t resist reading yours (high praise, believe me). Absolutely stellar work, as usual. Characterisation/prose is at a perfect boil with you. Pleasure to read your work— privilege, perhaps a better word!
I loved my internal monologue when I read “putrid kiln” and continue “…hm….oh…OH MY.” Excellent clue drops that lead to the full confirmation of what’s literally happening! And what a way to celebrate going Paid. Wooop!! 🎉
Thanks Katie! I was worried I dropped too many clues and the ending would be like “eh, whatever.” But, I think the wackiest thing is that someone actually made a shirt like this (without eating anyone obviously)
The detail of "Bluetooth slug" is so great.
Ha! Thanks Molly--they've always looked like slugs to me. I'm glad I was finally able to weasel it into a story.
also... surely the obviously missing piece must be a deliberate sign to the beholder.... IT'S STILL INSIDE ME... with all that entrails ...
😂

Every fuckin' sentence. Masterful. I gotta go practice my shape-shifting now. Thanks bye.
Thanks Jon! Let me know what forms you take on
Mostly monopods and the occasional bacteria. I am having a low day.
slow progress is still progress my friend

lol! Thanks! Just walk into your nearest high-end haberdashery and ask them what's on the menu.
Wow, this is dark and written by a madman at that. I never knew you were such. Great work Will.
I'm a madman only when it comes to fashion
So they say…

Haha! Thanks for the kind words, Hanna!

I can totally imagine this guy ordering someone to put lotion in a basket

Hey Ken, thanks for reading! I wish you all the best my friend.
you are an absolute maniac (complimentary)
lol “you got me all figured out, don’t ya?”
Such an interesting and fun piece. The voice of the character is so distinct in a way that tells us so much about him. Great piece, Will :)
Thanks so much Michael!
Brilliant! 👏
Thanks William! High praise coming from you my friend
🍻
What a wild ride
Thanks, Keith!

No you nailed it! And you better believe I googled this after I finished your piece! Unreal!!
It is unreal! I came across it and just had to write something about it.
Really enjoyed the language and rhythm in this piece
Thanks, Phil!!
I love the 'Bluetooth slug."
He's the true star of the show
