Wow! Why does everybody always say that when I mention short stories? 🤔
I will have you know that some people refer to me as the undisputed master of brevity!
True, not many... Maybe one... OK It's bloody me alright!
However, let me produce my credentials, it's a little dated, hence the Boris reference. The prompt was 'a bedtime story for grownups'.
Note the sneaky hyphenation of work-week to stick to 50 words... HA! I won that contest on a technicality... A technicality, I tells ya! 👿
While your 'credentials' are compelling and undoubtedly demonstrate your fine intellect, I fear that they are too dated to serve as a rebuttal to my case that you are currently the most circumlocutory bugger on the blockchain;)
