Wow, the wee little man didn't have to get pissy about it. Great post, John.

Whoa! The gory/cosmic twist of "unbecoming" is as eyebrow-raising as it is clever!

Oh my goodness John, this was so original. I'm actually a bit shaken by that dark turn at the end. Despite the creepy photo, for a minute there I got excited that his issue was fixed. Did not expect a rainbow followed by organs!

That was magnificent, so much grunt so such a short story! And the artwork was gorgeous too! Where did you find it?

Probably the first time I ever thought to myself “thank goodness I don’t have a penis.” 🫣

Didn't see that twist coming. Holy smokes. That didn't disappoint!

Certainly not the ending I was expecting, but it was a very enjoyable (if messy) read :D
