The Coming Out of Spicey

A precautionary tale

He was back. He shined in the spotlight for a few, painfully brief hours. Now he’s gone again. What went on in that poor boys mind during a comeback we’ve already forgotten?

I submitted this to three different publishers. Two never bothered to respond. Even though the story was now two months old, I decided to pitch it as a comeback now fallen way. The third editor pointed out that a Presidential like line I used in parody would still be insulting to a group the President loves to mock. I agreed, changed it and the next day it was up.

I avoid politics in this blog, but every once in a while I have to make an exception.
