Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, the 'bestseller' stickers on our front table? The publisher pays for that placement. Those books haven't sold more than eleven copies here all month, but they paid for twelve facings.”
