Wheelchair-bound Irma is confined to her attic bedroom by her live-in caregiver, the erudite and pedantic Mr. Archer, as punishment for having smuggled in an abandoned kitten during her daily wheeling through the park (bringing in strays is a violation of state policy, and Mr. Archer is worried even so minor an infraction will endanger his job). Archer heartlessly solves the problem by throwing the kitten out Irma’s window, but unbeknownst to him the starving animal lands just out of reach on the rain gutter. Irma, in her late nineties, fashions a conveyance of a curtain rod and drinking glass, and spends her final days sacrificing her milk-based meals at the expense of her own life. A deeply moving 4,900 words.

Dear Mr. VC,
At the risk of alienating a valued customer with the entrepreneurial spirit this firm needs, I'm going to pass on this venture. I'd be lying if I said it has nothing to do with the volume of your submissions being exceedingly robust, but it also is because I'm not really a synopsis kind of guy either. I prefer the capital speak for itself and any introduction preceding the initial submission be something other, some other angle of attack to get my attention and whet my appetite for what lies ahead. Again, I hope this doesn' t drive a permanent wedge between us. It's not personal, it's business.

For what it's worth, CEO, thank you. I could've almost lived with the unnecessary and not that interesting synopsis, but not its self review's "deeply moving."

You got it, Rox
Word to the VC: Let the capital speak for itself!
