Paula asked Justin Sewall:

Do you have "message" mode open, Justin? Just want to tell you, your new microstory's a mindblower--super black-humor piece, and the ending, yeoww! NICE work.

Justin Sewall Hi Paula,

Yes, I do have it open. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I'm still feeling a bit like I'm out of my league in the group. A lot of very thoughtful stuff put out here. But I do like the challenge, and it gets me writing and thinking! I've been thinking about this one since it came out and it came to me in bits and pieces while I was at work. So I stayed late at my desk and fleshed it out.

I'm glad you liked the ending. It comes from having six kids who are often in time out. I thought it was clever myself, along with my backwards title.

Again, I appreciate the positive feedback!

Best,

Justin
