This story is such a banger! I got to read the early versions of it, and was blown away. Abigail Kemske is a master of sensory details that provoke strong reactions in both story and reader. You do not want to miss it!

Before COVID, the grab-and-go deli sandwiches at my local market cost $4.99 each. From 2020 to 2025, they stayed around $7.99-$8.99. Now they are $12.99-$14.99. It's all airport pricing now. It's "They're trapped here. They'll pay whatever we want," except for the entire country.

Buddy of mine asked me to post the drawing my youngest daughter, then age 4, made of a fart.
Child’s drawing in red marker of a little kid with curly hair, ridiculously protruding buttocks, from which is expelling a truly impressive amount of atmosphere, accompanied by the sound effect “plurt.”
