Oh no, he said, and let out a wail of despair … or was it a despairing wail?

So this morning I felt very pleased with myself. For the first time in ages, every single unpublished A-list story is out and circulating (the A-list is everything I haven’t decided is unsellable).
I knew that couldn’t last. But it was still frustrating that by 5 p.m., “Kernel of Truth” and “Tale Spinners” had both come back. Though I give full credit to Nightmare and Defenestration for a prompt turnaround of only a few days.
