Official Press Release – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

It’s on the internet, so it must be legit:

Kapolei, HI, May 21, 2010 – GNA Worldwide subsidiary Malum.org, home of the impeccable novella Tall Tales of Felony and Failure (TTFF), proudly announces its recent partnering with Wild Child Publishing.

When asked to comment, William Taker, Malum.org’s Under Registrant of Over Compensation, responded, “This partnership allows Malum.org, a GNA Worldwide subsidiary, to benefit from the additional income generated through sales of our sad, sad tale by Wild Child Publishing without assuming any of the financial risk associated with actually producing things. Wild Child “Famous” Publishing, meanwhile, may now enjoy the staggering notoriety associated with the fine, fine TTFF brand. This strategy is eerily reminiscent of our similar partnering with Spreadshirt Inc., resulting in the wildly successful Submarine Pirate Shop. It’s a complete win-win for each company involved, and we’re all excruciatingly excited.”

Slowly, coming back.  All of it coming back.  The Filipina, the bloody bouncer, the broken cue stick, the free money.  Frozen time.

I ponder this.  Frozen time?  Reaching under the seat, I pull out my clothes: sneakers, underpants, shirt, and pants.  I’m still wearing Tom’s cap, which is glued to my head, and my socks are still on.
