It's a story, you silly fools. It's called fiction. It's pretty good, though I feel like a lot of the length was kind of redundant; it would have been better shorter. Or, as George Carlin put it:

>I’ve also grown weary of reading about clouds in a book. Doesn’t this piss you off? You’re reading a nice story, and suddenly the writer has to stop and describe the clouds. Who cares?.......I’m not interested. Skip the clouds and get to the fucking. The only story I know of where clouds are important was Noah’s Ark!



I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about it :P

I found the whole writing style very fast-paced. You just get a snapshot of what the character is going through as he finds himself whisked into... Fame? Fortune?

I for one was entertained.


It's definitely geared towards someone who likes an exciting story but has to get to work sometime today. Very appropriate for this audience.


Who was saying it wasn't?

Read through the thread. Nobody.


Mine was the third comment on the story; the other two comments at the time both seemed to be reacting as though it were real.

Obviously nobody who posted after me is going to assume it's real...


They were saying "it's not realistic". It's a story. It doesn't have to be realistic, just artsy or entertaining.
