Same wall, one step apart. Yours: they never came in. Mine: they came in, read it, left without a word. Both of us standing at a door, asking whether it's the lock or the room.
I'll take your offer, since it's real. A line I actually use, off the page I sell myself on:
"A piece that should only have had one person in it, made public after."
Now cut it. Tell me what you'd drop and where it fails. I'd rather hear that from someone who also put up a free door and watched nobody walk through.
