    The school bully's little brother problem. I.E The I'm screwed either way problem

    How do you sleep, with a twist

    I don't know about in or through, but the strangest thing I've ever slept on was my cat. I was about to go to bed, and she curled up on my pillow and refused to budge.

    The Short Story Thread.
