Today

 

****

Editor’s note: this piece of work is our very first submission. There was no name, and no response to the e-mail I sent back. There was no title, so I made it up [in homage to the famous smashing pumpkins song] The trick is to just read the words, not try and form sentences. Almost as if it was scrolling neon sign. I like this story [rant] a lot and I hope you do too.
