Susie Bright + Quills commentary

Free short story!

Will Self, author of highly amusing, often grotesque fiction, has self-published (trying to restrain myself from saying ha) a short story on his eponymous website. It's called The Gesture:

It was one of those things that married people come to loathe about their spouses with a deep and passionate intensity, along with the timbre of their coughs, their tipsy giggles, the particular, guilty creaks with which they ascend the stairs. In Holly’s case, it was the dismissive flick of thumb and index finger, with which Brion indicated that the subject was closed. That he wasn’t going to come out with them to lunch - and that he didn’t wish to talk to her anymore.

Just the right thing to ease you into the workday today.
