‰ЫПTell, rather than write, because I have nothing to write with and writing is in any case forbidden. But if it‰ЫЄs a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone. You don‰ЫЄt tell a story only to yourself. There‰ЫЄs always someone else.‰Ыќ

I must confess that I was annoyed by the frequent use of comma splices. I longed for semicolons and dashes.
