Spooftastic!

 

 

Laughing as I type. Where should I even begin? A mock conversation among the board of reviewers of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, point being that they probably never get to read the novels they screen.

Board Member No. 5: That was amazing.

Pulitzer Board Chief: You were amazing.

No. 5: If I could, I’d give you a Pulitzer Prize for blowing my freakin’ mind.

Pulitzer Board Chief: Can I tell you a secret? I never learned how to read past the fourth-grade level.

No. 5: I love you. READ MORE
