It Was a Book That Revised Itself
by Michael C. Keith
Genre: Humour
Swearwords: None.
Description: Some readers just miss the obvious.
_____________________________________________________________________
Published in 1946, the novel had updated its contents to reflect the realities of life in 2015.
As Harris read the old mystery, it struck him that something was not right. The sentence that caught his eye read as follows:
Matilda placed the smoking Glock into her backpack and removed her cellphone to call Randy at Starbucks.
“What! Oh, c’mon! This is crazy. Dumb book,” he grumbled. “Glocks don’t smoke after you fire them.”
Harris knew this for a fact, because he was an arms expert . . . if not the most intuitive reader.
