It does not exist anymore alas but a great addition to "CIA-tied literary magazine" conversation would have been the KGB lit mag (associated with the KGB bar in New York, where years back I did a few readings in the aptly-named Red Room): xitter.cf/kgbbarlitmag

It's actually "pa, in st., a king," which comes from an old fable in which a boy calls his father to the window because he recognizes the monarch lying out in the street, and the king rewards the boy for his meticulous attention to detail once reinstated

not looking up the etymology is painstaking "pains-taking" or "pain-staking"

I usually just let ghosting editors ghost and log it as a rejection, but a few days ago I shot out some passive-aggressive emails to places that never replied and as a result just broke my record for longest elapsed time between submission and rejection (2 days after this reply)

If I were the serpent with no wings and no crown I would be envious of the serpent that gets to have wings and a crown, essential unity and eternal recurrence and what-have-you be damned

In retrospect I think when I posted this people thought I was talking about the shadows but I was talking about the lizards

Excellent character name if you are writing a sinister villain who happens to be Irish

I think some people (those who see everything through the lens of the modern horror genre?) don't really *get* the Twilight Zone, or try to evaluate it on criteria it was never aiming at. This is very much not the vibe!---even of the episodes that *are* intentionally creepy
