Hmm.
Read that carefully.
It’s not technically a rejection, is it? It just says they read it and considered it, and that they thank me for submitting.
But they didn’t accept it, either. So it exists in some quantum state of rejection and non-rejection.
Hmm.
(BTW, the story referenced, “When I Die” is currently posted over on Figment, if you want to read it for free.)
