Worst Encouragement Ever
Tomorrow is another day.
----
I was in a bind with this one. I really liked the joke that "Tomorrow is another day" is a suspense story. It just seemed, especially when you start unpacking it, so delightfully mean-spirited.
But it was so minimalist that I had trouble believing the context would carry it. And I didn't want to have an essay-like intro, because, well, I'd just done that two suspense stories ago. And that would make this virtually the same story. So I decided to really use the annotations to cheat on this one, and get the aesthetic effect I wanted without having to worry. This is what we call "sloppy writing," and it's a useful skill.
