Leigh Stuart asked Ubiquitous Bubba:

Not really a question - just wanted to let you know I made a mess with my coffee and cookies while reading your short story in Wyrd Worlds. I'd send you the dry-cleaning bill, but I only wear wool and cotton. I started laughing so hard that, well, I won't go into the details.

Ubiquitous Bubba Leigh, I'm horrified to hear of your distress. You did get more coffee, didn't you? I would hate to imagine the consequences of going without coffee. (shudder)

I gave the story to a pack of imaginary readers and they made a huge mess as well. Of course, they also were rabid otters who love to swim in warm chocolate sauce, roll in powdered sugar, and then dance the macarena while they read. Hopefully, your experience was different. We do not need a resurgence of the macarena.

I am very glad that you enjoyed the story. I loved writing it. Thanks for your note. (Sorry about the cookies, too. I hope they were the kind you only nibble on because a distant relative made them and they want to see you eat their squid loaf. If so, then you're welcome.)
