The Atrocity

Any resident of Southern California under the age of thirty will no doubt remember "Marty Stevens' Cartoon Corner!" a showcase for many famous animated features from around the world. Older residents might possibly recall Marty Stevens from his time as a reporter on local news channel KCDP. Roughly one year after the untimely death of Mr. Stevens, I met his former lover, a man named Lorenzo, at my local bar. A brief (and very drunken) discussion led to the revelation that I was a self-published novelist of some renown. Lorenzo then took me back to his current residence where I was gifted with a shoebox filled with letters. This is a collection of those letters. They are self-published because no legitimate publisher would dare touch such a tragic story.
