I have decided to re-exhume "Detritus." · 8:00am Nov 23rd, 2017
Jokes aside, I got out of bed, unable to sleep, at two in morning on Thanksgiving day in order to aerate a sore I've let fester.
I had entertained notions of digging this back up once I was ready to voice it, presumed that I'd give people the chance to hear this story be told as I had intended it to be told.
However, I realize now that such a gesture would be self-indulgent and liable to be no more warmly received than the story itself was at its release.
I apologize to the people who worked on it with me, as well as to anyone who read it and did not find it as worthwhile as they had expected it to be, for any time of yours that I have squandered.
Going back over the story in the past, I've not seen many things I'd change: only additions I could have made which likely would have had no bearing on the story's reception. As such, it stands unchanged, exemplary of several reasons why I don't creatively write often and why I instead elect to try other creative pursuits I think I am better at, such as performance and singing. I ultimately took it down because I exist on this site to make my name as a voice talent, and I presumed that people might mistakenly conflate my failures with this story with potential shortcomings in my better-practiced arts.
Brusquely, I was covering my own ass, and I am unlike a canine in that licking my wounds infects them instead of healing them. Thus, I am exposing them to the sun, albeit in the desert, to permit the tissues to desiccate, die, and return to dust before I suffer worse from them.
And for enduring my dour self-flagellation, I offer a picture of Rarity hugging Button Mash. I am off to bed. Happy turkey day. I may post a proper Thanksgiving blog later today. 
I've never willfully kept myself up this late before.

Happy Thanksgiving to you. I woke up not too long ago at 5 AM.... Why is Thanksgiving making us get up so early??
Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Sorry to hear you weren’t sleeping well, either. I kept thinking about song lyrics and then thought about what I write and started ruminating on this. The catharsis with this was immense.
Happy Thanksgiving, Tynal!

This has been a long time due, I think. Still, thank you.
