It is DAY 19 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Some respite from the frightening election nonsense in the news. I'm Herschel Sterling, and I'm here to help. We are hearing a lot of fiction these days. Oh boy. It’s definitely that time. It’s so bad this time around that it’s beyond typical and outrageous, it’s alarming and worrisome. I was thinking about doing something spoofy. Instead, maybe I can try to take your mind off of those disturbing things. I’m Commercial Herschel, and I’m here to help. Let me first thank my newest subscriber, Auraist: picking the best-written books. I always thank my new subscribers and followers. Touch grass. I hope you can do that some time. I hope you might get a paid subscription to my substack, or buy me a coffee, or donate some bitcoin. I wish you the best. I’m Herschel Sterling, and I’m here to help. All of today's content.
