This story is what happens when a writer uses the wrong word and their critiquing partners are kind enough to point out the faux pas before they can reveal themselves as an idiot to the world. In my case, it was chard vs. charred, and in part 2, thinking that a petticoat was, well, an actual coat.
Originally, this was two separate stories, but I managed to stitch them together and sell the story to Sci-Fi Lampoon Magazine. It is a rather dumb story, but it was fun to write.
Delightful Hamilton. Can't wait to read part 2. In the comment below, are you saying this has already been successfully published in Sci-Fi Lampoon Magazine. If so, congratulations! So happy for you.
Yes, I sold it several years ago to them. They only publish in a book format, so it was never presented online, it has to be purchased. So I’m happy to put it out in the wild in hopes that it finds a few more readers. Thanks for reading!
