Level—Six Sentence Story

      1. By the way, you can delete all of these half written comments – I won’t be offended! If anything, I’m surprised that you didn’t. WordPress glitched, and glitched hard, it seems! Weirdly, this isn’t the first time this has happened to me either – I’ve had it glitch halfway through writing a comment on one of Keith’s posts, and it posted that half written comment 6 times in the comments, and then he had it show up another 20+ times in his spam folder!
