For the latest issue of the Safety Pin Review, we have once again traveled far across the seas, this time, allllll the way to Stavanger, Norway, land of the fjords, where this story was worn by previous SPR contributor Berit Ellingsen. There are pictures of thousands to come, but in the meantime, HERE LOOK THERE IT IS CATCH IT BEFORE THE DISCORD HITS YOU:
ISSUE THIRTY-FOUR (8/6/12):
featuring
“For Sale: Sold”
by Chad Patton
In case you have trouble reading, the story goes a little sumthin’ like this:
For Sale: Sold
She heard the noise;
I heard it too. We
looked in places unexplor-
ed, nooks and crannies,
ceilings and floors.
We found each other,
nothing more.

Really like this particular story, from the title to the rhyme to the way it packs a whole lot of story into just a few lines.
