WANTED:

SHARED GIRLFRIEND FOR

EXCLUSIVE 3-on-1 RELATIONSHIP

(Yes, you read that right)

Three budding young authors seek one

extremely open-minded female for

an exclusive, borderline sinful,

dedicated professionals — as well as

lifelong friends — looking to share,

LIVE-IN ARRANGEMENT ONLY

You must be prepared to reside here,
