This is a satirical short story I wrote recently.

BTW I'm running a little short story competition that you can enter if you're interested: www.geocities.com/spiky_one/story.html

Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

What a great read! Thank you so much! Brilliant. Speaks to me of Vonnegut and Dick in a weird kind of way. I love the tone and style of this. Encore!

Greetings EchidnaZ, a thoroughly entertaining story and one that got the attention of the Underguide Miners who have voted it into the <./>underguide</.>.

Congratulations , and thankyou for contributing it here. You've had an entry selected before but it was a while ago, so what happens next is that an UnderGuide Polisher will be in touch in the next few weeks about creating the UG copy entry, with any final polishing. Shortly after, it will be our UnderGuide entry on that front page for a week.

Thanks again EchidnaZ .

Although this is in the Underguide here: A17324822 this version has been moderated. I'd like to propose Back to Entry.

I second that.

It is a chillingly good short story... "if she drops the jam jar it's her fault, but if I drop the jam jar it's her fault for not putting the lid on right"...

Oo - don't know where those smileys came from...

is more appropriate...
