Imagine owning a book. You know you can own words digitally now right? No need to cut down trees. Are we acting like paper is green now? Have we compared the amount of energy it takes to create a book in all its forms? It may be more entertaining to make a paper airplane, but digital airplanes last forever. So long as you renew your PaperAir 3d+ subscription monthly for $3.99. Maybe that's a bad analogy. Have you thought about using audible and closing your eyes? Ultimate dark mode. Have you tried to read a book while wiping your ass? For the disabled this can spell disaster. Agatha Christie may be to blame for death of countless fictional debutants, but what if she killed in real life as well? What if she killed in the future? It's the perfect crime. Potentially killing thousands of people just trying to clean their bottoms while holding onto the murder weapon, which is her own words. Have we talked about ink color yet? Well I forgot why that was important. All I know is Agatha needs to pay for her modern sins. I say we sue her estate for all its worth. Maybe then the dark and the light readers can all get along.

Was this fun to read? Probably not, but was it fun to write? You'll have to ask Agatha about that.
