It is said Keith is so bright, his intellect could guide a ship safely to shore. Witnesses report that he dresses so sharply, they thought he used a whetstone. I am told that Keith is a world-renown author and his works have been called “life-changing”. I have it on good authority that he is an extremely funny guy who always has the perfect witty comment and only ever at times befitting such remarks. It is rumored that he once said something so funny, several dozen people around the globe laughed mildly without knowing why. Here is a quote from a venerable source that refers to Keith as, “a pretty good guy”. A respectable and preferably unnamed rival once said off the record that they looked up to him (though this may have been a poor attem It is said Keith is so bright, his intellect could guide a ship safely to shore.

Here is a quote from a venerable source that refers to Keith as, “a pretty good guy”. A respectable and preferably unnamed rival once said off the record that they looked up to him (though this may have been a poor attempt at wit, as Keith is 6.1 and the unnamed individual is a trifling 5.9). What else… Ah, he frequently tips over 20%, which is something. Uhh… he makes a mean grilled cheese, I guess? I mean it’s pretty good, nothing to write home about though, honestly. What else… puh… Ummumum… he’s… a half-decent driver, I mean a few accidents, sure, but nothing crazy. What? Keep it rolling? Yeah, sure — sorry. Anyways, I guess since you made it this far you’ve earned the truth. Keith is really just a guy, pleasant enough that if you strained to remember him, you’d think something like, “oh, yeah, that guy. He was alright.” He writes as a hobby, certainly no one asked him to, so just bear that in mind. He’s got, let’s see here, two kids — boys, 3 and 5. That’s not their names, just their age. Okay, I am seeing my director wave frantically at me now, I’ll wrap this up. He was born in ‘96, and he’s been married since ‘17 - whoa, alright, he married fairly young. Yeah, no, that’s — there’s nothing wrong with that, good for him. Ah, somebody is pounding on the glass to my sound booth, I think that means I’m done, lemme just make sure I got everything off this paper… hmmm, oh it says he’s got a Bachelors in theology — hah, what a nerd. Okay, I think that about wrap—“ ...more

I really liked this novella, it wasn’t what I was expecting but what it ended up being was better. The shift happens early on and then you’re just along for ride. I was left wondering throughout and after whether or not the narrator was crazy, and I ...more
