Subject: more assinine The-Hold queries

was wondering if you accept or reject these various art forms: short-short stories, storellas, literary pre`cis and "tonepoems" via E-mail? Some of my latest works are: "A Ten Pound Large Man", "Shadow Eye", "Stale Bread" , "Falling Way Out of Olivia", "A Man from Ur","Dirty Holy Water", "Kafka's Tomb","Intruder"", "Little Baby Lost", "Ashes from the Sky","Missing Facawee", "Ritual of the Seven Fishes", "Sleeping with Fish","War between the Jinx Gods and Greek Gods", "A Hundred-eyed Dog", "Hyphenated All Americans", "Once a Tima Ago on Old Arthur Avenue Stories", "Oedipus of the Knowing" and "The Whistling Man's long Dark Journey into Night - sometimes on the Sea".... These were all sculpted using 800 words or less.
There are many more titles I could mention but I think I've bored you enough. Thank you for your time and kind attention. . I know you must put much effort and time in your endeavor - without much thanks. I thank you.
I have never done this before but a fellow writer told me there is nothing to be ashamed of when asking for some compensation for one's labor of love. That clich� just fell out of me; perhaps it's the passing out - since my last meal several days ago but it would be nice if someone would send the price of a bag of chips and maybe a soda too to wash them down or even in my wildest dreams, that is if you are making something from readers or your sponsors who appreciate literature, then perhaps enough for like a two course meal; however, if you are poorer than we - forget I ever asked about that green stuff and those silvery shiny coin thingees - so who needs to eat every day?
I'm sorry if I sent you this message before but I misplaced some of my records and still do on occasion and add the fact that
often I might get an address from a friend and though I'm sort of a little bright I tend to not realize I have all
ready sent to that very zine or web-site before so - don't get mad. I shall never bother you again if this be the case and to those few that have received this three times - I shall begin the elaborate process of falling on my very very very dull sword!

**************
dearest nimrod:
you obviously never read the "get a job you lazy prick" disclaimer. furthermore, your email and the titles you have given your work are not so brilliant as to give us a glimpse into their content, so how the fuck are we supposed to accept or reject them?

when did you say you were going to fall on that sword of yours? shit, even a dull butterknife would do.
