Well they axed my story, so no publications for me. Said they needed to cut three pages from the mag, and you can guess how many pages my story was. But I got the usual "But don't worry, Dan, your story got one of the highest scores. Really good, I'm tellin' ya." Then he adds "But, you know, your story ended with the... what was it? 'You've got an ant on your face.' Yeah, that didn't have a good sense of completion. And it was kinda... downtrodden."
"It was meant to be like that."
"Oh. Cool."
Hmm. Does fiction need a sense of completion? Do we ever get that from life? Fuck, not even death has a sense of completion. I don't remember the last time I had a sense of completion from anything except a fucking orgasam.
I continue to have my doubts on whoever runs this whole outfit.

last night I actually fell asleep with Tom Waits playing on the computer. I don't have all my Tom Waits albums on there and the file already contains ten hours of music. Whee....
