Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 16, 2020

I think the author was full of hot air.

Be careful about paper cuts, balloon creatures. One little cut and you’ll pop outta existence.

The balloon people are nice, but they tend to be intellectual lightweights.

Pretty much everything in their library is light reading.

The fiction is frustrating… I couldn’t find any sharp writing… it’s all vague, and doesn’t get to the point..

I talked to the librarian.. she said I might as well give up, cos no balloon authors ever make valid points.

It’s why they all grow up to be airheads.

They’re not ashamed… I’d say they even have kinda swelled heads about it.

The Moms are quite puffed up about their empty-headed little ones.

I’m going back home, to find a book I can sink my teeth into.

The book was due today. He just squeaked by.

That’s not a bad thing!

Leaking the ending accidentally, will leave you flat.

They all use the library because no one can afford to buy books any more. Inflation, don’t you know.

The author was filled with hot air.
