Holy smokes, I love this! So glad I just discovered your Substack, and already cannot wait for the next newsletter! I agree with @Thomas Bubb that your multi format style is great. What compelled you to start writing humorous flash fiction? What publications, authors, and works are your inspiration? I’m totally geeking out over here. 🤩 (using stock photos as funny short story inspo is genius! 😆)
Haha! All the stories gave me a good laugh, but for some reason the banana jokes had me busting up. (FYI, I was going to insert a clever banana pun but my brain is fried. Ahh...guess I’ll just leave those for you to take care of. 😄)
Your time travel story made me zip over to Wikipedia to determine when batteries were invented... which then turned into when batteries that could do better than 1.1V were invented... and alas, in 1863 your time traveler was indeed SOL. 😫
But if he had some way of knowing when lightning would strike a particular place... ⚡️🕞
These were all hilarious, Mark! I’m sorry I haven’t been on your Substack in a bit but wanted to tell you I think your multi format style is very entertaining. Thanks for sharing!
Okay Mark! You made me laugh. And to remember to always keep your time machine fully charged!
A great issue, Mark. Punny and funny!

Professional sleeper sounds not bad!
I too am a professional sleeper. And I was worried I was the only one!
Time Travel Issues - Whelp, time to invent car batteries!
