“To fuck around is human. To find out is divine.”
If I sat down to write a novel about all the times I fucked around and found out, I would probably have a tome Tolstoy would be proud of… What better theme for Punk Noir though?
If you’re offended by the word fuck, I’m fucking sorry but you were probably in the wrong fucking place anyhow.
And so —
Delight me with your fuckery and finding out tales. But remember, nothing longer than 300 words. Keep it punchy!
