You poured out your blood onto your keyboard. It’s all there for the world to see. The truth and nothing but the truth.

You’ve checked and double-checked. Your finger hesitates as the mouse pointer hovers over that green publish button. Done.

Off it goes at the speed of light into the cyber universe.

Another spin of the one-armed bandit. You close your eyes and exhale. Another one in the books. What if it goes viral?

What if Trump mentions it in his next press conference?

“Just read a great Medium post. I love what they’re doing there. They have some great writers, I’m telling you; some of the best writers in the world. And you know, I’ve said this before. You have some great talent there. Incredible talent. In fact, I was just telling Melania yesterday. There is some really great talent on Medium. I read some of them. I probably read more than anybody and I’m telling you, this was a really great article.”
