I'm pretty much just fucking around here, Umby. You know how literature is always classified as an affirmation or a negation? Like Brett Easton Ellis always ends his books with an abortion or murder or something that is a negation of life, and how Joyce famously ended Ulysses with YES, well I wanted an absolute negation. At first it was just NO. An arty and pretentious bunch of b.s. that was quickly culled. Then, I was sitting on my deck sipping red wine--truthfully, getting drunker than a one eyed Irish writer--and this silly thing came to me. It had abortion, drugs, an over dose, and made a reference to Ulysses. It's pretty stupid. I just wanted to make a mircro pasta that ended in NO. I am trying to write something with an absolute minimum of words, but this definitely does not make the cut. It was fun though. I asked Underscorre his opinion but he has yet to say anything, so I guess silence does speak wonders. I do see a potential story in this pasta, though, something literary that can say something. Whatever, it was a lark.
