Gather 'round friends. Last Friday,  @ericsmithrocks said he had a dream that  @maryknews and I wrote a #MetalGearSolid picture book.

Our job as writers is to fulfill dreams. Our mission was clear, and we couldn't let our Boss down. THREAD THREAD THREAD

Here's the original Codec transmission, by the way. The proposal was done last Friday but we kept you waiting, huh? (You can download the PDF in the next tweet or just view the thread below) https://twitter.com/ericsmithrocks/status/1284226875854905346

Here's the PDF. You know, for the children. And this guy.
