An important email from the MAO TUNG BANK in Cambodia informs me that for a long time now, I have been victimized by the men of the underworld (Pretenders / impostors). Somehow, I feel vindicated.

My first Rolfing session this Saturday. Apprehensive.

Liz Brown · Jan 6, 2020

Hi Pete, thank you for voting my submission, ‘The Beating Heart’, as winner yesterday. I very much appreciate the feedback from you, Ali and the chatroom, and will re-write my opening accordingly. I’ll probably re-submit in a few weeks. Leaving the genre off the submission was an unintentional mistake on my part. I watch Pop-Up Submissions most weeks because I find it so helpful. All the best, Liz Brown
