Sensing a pattern

 I wrote a silly short story that appeared in a "Star Trek" anthology 20 years ago, and received almost $300 in small payments spread over 6 or so years. Nothing after that until a notice that the book was remaindered.

Its next appearance was as an ebook.

2020, so far beyond Weird of the World that it broke the calendar, produced 3 checks: $7.69 last January, $5.72 last June, and this month, $0.13.

World-wide publisher Simon & Schuster sent a check for 13 cents. 

ViacomCBS just sold Simon & Schuster to a German media conglomerate; maybe S&S had to get me  off the books.

I'll trade it to the credit union for cash and hope they don't hurt themselves laughing. I did.
