This was a lot of fun.

The knee feeling like gravel was rolling around under the skin hits a little close to home lol

Miles, I can honestly say I have not read anything on Substack like your stories. Your mind is beautifully nuts!! This story was gross, hilarious, madly inventive - dude, your imagination is off the chain.

Thank you! There's something about these collisions of ideas I can't stop chasing, and readers seem to dig it, so I'll take the win.

You are a truly unique and inventive writer. I am honored you worked with me!!

Funny and darker than it pretends to be. The bureaucracy is the real horror here.

Love this one. Did you read the article about the real cleaning robots that stopped working and got the others in it? I feel like they were the IRL predecessors before your fictional reversal.

I did not, but if you have a link to it I would love to check it out.
