This Christmas, I asked myself a very important
- This Christmas, I asked myself a very important question: "Has anything about me changed? Why do I still hate the world? And where's the turkey?" But this time, it'll be different.
- I will eat Cornish hens instead,my cats sitting next to me at the dinner table. They don't need forks and knives. Less cleanup on my part.
- Plus, with Uncle Lenny's colostomy bag right there next to me, I could deposit any other collected meal detritus directly into there, thus saving the typical hassles affiliated

- Since I already knew the ending I quickly ran into my apartment, grabbed a lawn chair and a six pack of beer. I settled down in my front lawn and watch as the hero began to help.
- I had never seen someone squeeze toothpaste from a bottle so effortlessly, but the Hero did it, saving Dona's mourning routine three seconds. There WAS still good in this world.

I will never forgive myself for misspelling "morning."

If you give us 20 pushups and correct three dangling modifiers, we'll call it even. :-)

I dunno, I'm kind of intrigued by what a mourning routine might be. 1) Light the votive candle. 2) rend clothing...

Yes, I thought it was intentional - I mean as intentional as a thing can be in a foldingstory - and it's cool how the story starts with the protagonist questioning the world and ends with the discovery that there was some good in it, so kudos on your finish!
