Aerok Fiction FactoryThere once was a country where beatings produced works of fiction. The tools needed for producing such fictions were clubs, screaming, and bathtubs. There were various methods of completing a work of fiction, like beating, hanging, and pushing someone’s face into water. When a writer’s progress on their fiction slowed down, the screaming of friends, relatives, parents, and spouses were brought into the adjoining room, and this pushed the peak of the fiction’s climax higher.
