If you order a copy from Amazon and leave a glowing review, apparently you will be exempt from income tax this year 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks to @failingwriters.bsky.social for reading out my super cheery ‘blink fiction’ @40 mins in and for smashing their own 25 word stories with my theme of ‘lies’ 👏🏻💪🏻

THE BELL JAR

HARD ❌

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

EASY ✅

That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

An advert for a company called Magibook. The headline reads "Turn HARD books into EASY books with Magibook! Maximize your reading potential and avoid difficult language today."

Underneath is two covers of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Above the first cover is the original version of the opening sentence (captioned "Turn Hard Books"), which reads "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since."

Above the second cover (captioned "into Easy Books") is a simplified version, which reads "When I was young, my dad told me something that I still think about."

But just think what a corker of an opener you’ve created…
