Is this the script of a novel you are working on? With the right sharpness of wit, and a drastic overhaul of the cynical tone typical for such parodies, it sounds like something i'd like to read.

Initially, this was just an idea for a story that I had never fleshed out. Subsequently, I entered it into a flash fiction competition, which had a maximum limit of 50 words.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad it sounds like something you’d like to read.
Is a cynical tone inappropriate in this case, or are you generally against cynicism?
