I possess a potent tactile imagination, almost to a fault, and you have done once unimaginable things to my mind’s tongue (except the paper, which child-me can easily relate to).
I do think the beginning is definitely a compilation of some of the terrors of accounting I've encountered. Lots of dialogue I've lifted from things actually said to me before.
Then we take a hard turn toward the surreal, just the way I like it.
Thank you for reading and commenting; I love feedback like yours. 😉
A lot of the cringe accounting dialogue is actually stuff I’ve heard / had spoken to me in the office, and Debrah is a combination of several neurotic bosses I’ve had.
Be sure to share with your prestigious Brown U lit friends!
Hahaha yes the dialogue sounded like it must be lifted from real life. The jargon, cadence, hollowness all of it … my brother is actually an accountant also so im sure he would have something to say about this, sending it to him as well
Wayne is an Everyman in that way, or in this case, an Everyperson—suffering under the indignity of capitalism and trying to find his true meaningful path.
Z, I was thinking: Some people say, “See ya later,” some say, “Hear ya later,” and still others say, “Smell ya later.” Maybe your signature good-bye phrase should be, “Eat ya later”? 😳

Thanks for reading, Ellis. Glad I blew your mind tongue’s mind. You experienced Wayne’s desk-eating as your own desk-eating.
Silly, crazy, enjoyable to read
Not once did I think a story about accounting would lead to Wayne eating a desk and then a love story! Omg so good
Thanks for reading Kelly! It seemed like the natural endpoint for a man who cheats an inoperable bezoar!
Lol Such beautifully placed character conflict!
10/10
Edit:: 10/10… on the Liz scale of literary excellence.
Somehow, I thought this was a story about the terrors of accounting, and boy was I in for a surprise LOL. Zerenner does it again!
Thanks for reading!

Would love to hear his thoughts! Make him subscribe.
very relatable because i, too, want to eat my desk at work sometimes
Thanks for reading, nature!

At least Wayne's logic for eating the desk is airtight.

I liked it!!!

You had me at hello, then you lost me at journal entry. Just not funny … 😐
