To make a long story short

[molarbear]

*proceeds to extend the original story by five to ten minutes 

 

That.... 

Is not how that works at all

You did not shorten the story, you in fact extended it. Change your grammar to "To make a short story into a long ass novel that needs an intermission."

 

Ho

*edit... I think the "a" button is going out on my keyboard. It seems to stop functioning throughout sentences at times

I can make a short story a mini series...i have a problem

unless you're starting with....

" i was born on a cold wintry day in december. the kind of cold that doesn't bring life...it takes it. "

to tell the mechanic you need an oil change...

then what are you even doing?

Yeah, but do you sale promises of a "short story" beforehand?

Nope, those are fine. I just make sure I leave immediately so I'm first. No excuse needed, just a "peace". None of the guilt that comes with being the last person who has yet to find a reason to bounce.
