Hey, when did this become the "critiquing TAF's critiques" show? I won't stand for this mutiny! I obviously put the grey there... to... make sure you were actually reading! Yes, now I know that you read the whole thing so, thank you.

I'm curious why no one has mentioned it before, but now suddenly two people mention it nearly back-to-back.

It felt odd here for such a short story. Look, I gotta poke fun at you somewhere
(Don't worry about it, stick with your signatures if you like 'em, like how I'll never stop using parenthetical statements or unironic uses of "..." as dialogue no matter how many people point it out as "technically inappropriate")
