Your piece really reads pretty cleanly. It is funny but I had an idea for a substack story too but mine is a bit darker than yours. I like this slice of life like stories, so refreshing. Also good luck with the competition. Looking forward to reading yours and the other contestants work.

Engaging read! Thanks for sharing & tagging. How did you get those first-line indents? Are you just adding spaces? I’ve thought about doing the same to make fiction look like actual fiction on here…

I copied the text from a Word document and it appears as it is. Not really sure how to do it with the Substack editor, though.

that's clever! I've gotten so used to Internet block paragraphs that I haven't thought about indented paragraphs in...years, probably.

I knew I'd seen indent/de-indent options somewhere in the Substack editor, but it turns out they're only for items in a numbered list. It doesn't look like we can do it with normal text.
