Locked in a room (with tea and chocolate) to finally, finally, finally finish the introductory para of a short story before I send it off. Send literary vibes. Thanks.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
