in reply to @lutz's post:
Is there more to find on that page than the title "PATRICK by michael lutz"? I've tried clicking the box, scrolling vertically, and scrolling horizontally
I did not. I thought it was a title and didn't realize it was also a link.
...and unfortunately, things like Medium have trained me that if you see a title and a huge banner image, the thing that will get you to the content is to scroll a long way
No worries! This is an artifact of a now long gone era of web design (it's old enough I didn't even optimize it for mobile and thought maybe it wasn't working with a touch screen, even)
I'm not sure what I read. I'm now vaguely unsettled. Mission accomplished maybe? Haha
What a strange, wonderful, charming, unsettling tale. At any moment it could veer into horror, just in time for Halloween. Instead it remains, appropriately, wholly and universally relatable.
o my god this was so good!!!!! and the fact the name changes everytime you reload the story is so cool
Oh the name randomizes? For me it was Michael, so I assumed it was reverse-autobiographical...
yes! the name can also be "Patrick" which also changes the thrust of the story in a different way (at the time i thought this was thematically interesting but then realized only like 1% of readers are going to hit the Power Names but eh, you can't win'em all)
oh man i thought i was the only one this happened to regularly
I had this problem when I lived near the Dell compound in Austin and went into the 7-11 by my house for breakfast. Multiple people have asked me if I worked there.
