Selection from the short story “We Could Have Been Huge” - By Paul LeeSimon
The more he thought about it, the worse it got.
He couldn’t stop thinking about it.
It kept getting worse.
Simon was lying on his bed in the dark. It was like his brain was accelerating and careening and fishtailing down a greased-up Mobius strip, all pumping and smashing down the brake pedal but the brake pedal is […]
