Opened a graphic novel recently and got this on the first page:
My name’s [JOHN SMITH]. I’m a man of few words. Have to be.
Used to make my trade as a [DEBT COLLECTOR], forcing [DEBTORS] to pay for their [LOANS]. I guess it was a good life.
[ABOUT] seven years ago that changed, when I [DROVE] into this [CITY].
They were looking for a [CREDIT CONTROLLER]. I was looking for a place to [CONSOLIDATE].
Don’t the last six sentences of 50+ words make a lie of the second sentence?
Puh.
(All the items in ‘[‘ and ‘]’ were initially for cheap laughs and some anonymity for the writer [and arse-covering on my part]. … No, ’tis neither funny nor anonymous.)
