Hence the reason that reading increases one's vocabulary. @fodda: Actually both words are part of the English language. Hence the reason that reading increases one’s vocabulary.

"Acidicly", "Incarceree" etc. Hilariously bad. I like the way that when you cn’t think of a suitable word to us, you make one up. “Acidicly”, “Incarceree” etc.

Hilariously bad.

You surprise me. Not because you are a good writer - I already knew that - but for your obvious willingness to risk losing your entire readership for this little foray into the consequences of morality. Anyway, I for one want to know how this turns out. There are so many possibilities. (Caution: when Max likes something it is often wise to question the validity of one's premise; Max is not known for his good taste.) I love the style you have chosen to write this in - 1950s pulp detective, I think the style is officially called. Personally, I think you have captured the flavor of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe character. When he was in the fifth grade. I honestly look forward to the next installment. I may even click of a few adverts if it is as good as this one. Especially if you get beaten up in the next installment. Just kidding. No I'm not. Finally, I assure you that the word "incarceree" has not passed unnoticed. Ever more interesting. You surprise me.
