Channeling Stephen King. Wow. Terrifyingly fantastic. I’m completely traumatized as I actually had a cat named Snickers

Definitely inspired by King's anthropomorphism of household objects.

Beginning of the story: awww, "Snickers"! 😍

End of the story: nooo, Snickers!!! 😵‍💫

Oh my god and gotta get this right the first time because Substack removed the ability to edit a comment, isn't that just a horrible change, but not as terrifying as a so-close-to-reality story about a mad printer that the company must surely love because of all that sweet data, and blood, too, bonus blood that keeps them filled with new DNA advertising possibilities and kept me reading and reading hoping the printer would explode, but in a good way, wiping itself off the face of the earth, or at least off the face Bill's apartment, but no self respecting/serving fabricator of mad printers would allow that, so Bill the former optimist comes crashing into contact with the new normal. Wow.

Nicely done. What a tale!

Edit: That's weird. Last night I couldn't edit a comment and today I can. Substack gremlins.
