Homeless in Hell by OSC
I just reread this and it's still hilarious. [Evil Laugh]

I neither like the story nor do I think it's funny. Not sure why.

For me, it's probably the best thing OSC has ever written. It speaks to me. [Dont Know]

Can't explain it, but love it.

Actually, despite the initial disclaimer, it's one of the most hopeful pieces of writing I've ever read.

It has a lot of funny parts in it, is all I'm saying. And the bit about making the effect of an action more extreme than actually warranted, I thought that was funny. I mean, looking back on the story as a whole I don't bust up laughing. But re-reading it, there are a lot of little things that make me chuckle.

I get it. [Smile]

Wistful and bittersweet, scathing and wickedly funny.
