Another week, another spy story; another mission, another addition to our admittedly weird sense of time here in the world of Unacceptable.
“I’m not trying to be difficult, but this is unacceptable,” I said to the waiter. I gave Vanessa little wink.
His eyes bulged just a little, then he regained his composure. “I’m so sorry about the delay, sir. Allow me to fetch you one of our deluxe bread baskets, and I shall return with a list of tonight’s specials.” He scurried off.
What's that waiter's deal? Find out by reading! (Warning: Story available in the English language only, at this time.)

This week's Unacceptable has Colin back in the driver's seat, for a little bit of a holiday special.
“I’m not trying to be difficult, but this is unacceptable,” I said to Becky, maybe a little bit louder than I meant to. I tore up the form she had handed to me, for effect.
“Colin. It’s my job to compile the company directory. You have to fill out your basic contact info,” said Becky.
You probably couldn't see the celebrating there through all the bureaucracy, but that's like a metaphor. Check out the whole story on the internet.
The Higgs Weldon's most lengthy spy serial continues this week with lucky #13
“I’m not trying to be difficult, but this is unacceptable,” shouted Colin as I pushed him out of the boat. Or so I assume. I couldn’t be sure since he sank like a rock when he hit the water, but he was always saying that. I wonder if he’s got echolalia, or–no, that’s repeating what you hear. Whichever is the one where you just get obsessed with a phrase and have to keep saying it. I bet he’s got that.
As long as he didn’t say it in front of the ex-KGB agent I was supposed to be meeting, it wasn’t going to matter. And now that he was somewhere in the river instead of on the boat, the odds were good. Now all I had to do was find that Russian.
Yep, another Vanessa story. You had better read it up quick.
And of course, you could always SUBMIT your own work to The Higgs Weldon. What's the worst that could happen?
Holy smokes! Two weeks away and Unacceptable is back on The Higgs Weldon! Check out this preview!
“‘I’m not trying to be difficult, but this is unacceptable?’” boomed the Chief. As soon as Colin was called in, we were all looking sideways toward the Chief’s office, but as soon as he said that, it was all we could do to not press our faces against his office windows.
Colin and the Chief never really got along. That’s probably because the Chief doesn’t have to get along with anyone; he’s the Chief. And because Colin is kind of a jackass to everyone; he’s kind of a jackass.
Hey! Colin appears in that excerpt! That means the point-of-view character changed! If I were you, I'd be reading the rest of this week's story right away!
If you were me, you'd be planning your next piece to SUBMIT to The Higgs Weldon!
