To Broil a Horse

This absurdist, cut-up adventure is constructed from remixed and redacted spam emails.

Title and theme went on and on: old Ralph Rinkelmann and his innumerable rubber trees in the center of a basin. And wringing from them the juice of a lemon.

I held my head as high as I could, and very swiftly reviewed the scene. Just as I placed a blue ribbon around the donkey’s neck, and called out her name, Clara, we were visited by Major Powell. One sorrow comes close upon the heels of another.

The garrison of Germans was armed, heading definitively for Bloomsbury.

Sometimes.
