Readers! I cannot tell you how great it is to be back in my home, surrounded by my loved ones, in my warm bed, sipping a hot tea while I get back to normal life and update the newsletter! Sure, it’s exciting to be in a well, on a ladder, in a second well, and then realize that it’s all actually one well, but sometimes we aren’t looking for excitement. “No news is good news” is a phrase I coined in the well for a reason, and the reason is this: as long as Henry, the local paperboy from sea-level who would scream world news into the well, said things like, “This word is too big for me to read,” fellow well-dweller Gary and I didn’t have to worry about anything other than getting out of the well. But sometimes Henry would come and scream things like, “Stocks are down!” and we’d scream back at him, “What the hell do you know about stocks, you’re 11!” and then he’d scream back at us, “You creeps keep running your mouths and you’ll miss out on the Sunday Funnies!” and then we’d scream back at him, “You would withhold a FAMILY CIRCUS comic from us? Who does that?” and then he might start weeping, we might get emotional, and the whole thing takes up an hour or two in a day. Long story short, “no news” means we don’t have to hear about Henry’s parents’ messy divorce anymore.
Do u feel traumatized about ur well experience?
Wellcome back!
I'm so glad you're out of the well but now I'm worried about this Henry fellow!
