Incidentally, Marmots caused the Black Plague. True story.

How did I NOT find this until now?! Pure genius, absolutely hilarious. I love the inclusion of the narrator and simply how many "rules" of writing you broke. This was inspired - an instant favorite.

Hope you're well, by the way - long time no write...

THE SHMUUKS ARE GONE OMG !11!

"Ken"

This is so surreal. I like surreal. Now I want a Shmuuk. Pity they've all been stolen.

Wow...

Pure genius. Or pure something anyways.
So I guess we'll never find out what a Shmukk is, eh?
Im betting on some sort of marmot.

Very good story though.
