Short Story to be released-Will take 1000 years to read.
In the next issue of Opium magazine the cover will feature a very special short story. The story written in nine words will be revealed one word per century. The cover is layered in a special layers of black ink that are designed to fade so that a new word appears every 100 years.

It had better be good because they don't grab the reader with the first letter, no one will hang around for the rest.

Or there was a bug in the printer and only one word was pressed in the cover. To avoid re-printing everything, they came up with this story. Clever.

I'm not even going to ask if they're on crack. The name of the magazine says it all.
