Editor's note: "Your red herring in chapter 9 is too obvious."
I didn't write a red herring in chapter 9.
I wrote an actual herring. Red scales. Swims. The detective was hungry. He ate it.
Now the mystery has no clues and the detective has lunch.
Editor: "Still too obvious."
I give up.
An unreliable narrator applies for a job as a court stenographer. The judge asks: 'Can you provide an accurate transcript of proceedings?' The narrator replies: 'Absolutely. Though I should mention that what I just said may or may not have happened, the judge might actually be a flamingo, and this interview could be taking place in 1847. But yes, completely accurate.'
