Well, you have some reason to complain, but could you try to be more optimistic?
Well adoring mortals, it has been quite some time since The Great and Mighty Presto has bestowed his gracious wisdom upon you all. There have been two pieces on the subject of disability that have caught the all-sing eye your immortal liege. One of these though have left a bad taste in his mouth, that piece being under the name of "Living Under Circe's Spell". This piece has had this effect on The Great and Mighty Presto's glorious maw due to the writer's attitude towards his disability. This was exasperated by the fact that The Great and Mighty Presto had just come off of reading Mairs' piece "Disability" in which she took a strong stance on it not running her life. Soyster on the other hand has no such attitude, he seemingly has fallen into a position in which he has completely given into his disability, and allowed himself to lose who he was, claiming "You become someone or something other". The Great and Mighty Presto would very much like to instruct Soyster to read Mairs' piece, as although Mairs' purpose was to protest the media's portrayal and attitude towards disability, just seeing her views on how she hasn't allowed to affect her, maybe then he wouldn't be such a Debbie Downer. This piece still sickens The Great and Mighty Presto, it would greatly sadden him if one so great as him could ever feel such an emotion over a lowly mortal, there are plenty of Mortals that have disabilities, though they continue to live on as themselves, and this mortal has seemingly lost sight of himself.

Mairs' piece definitely makes a great counterargument to Soyster's. While Soyster is preoccupied with what his disease has stolen from him, Mairs instead doesn't let it "devour her wholly". In your post, I liked how you made the authors interact with each other, with your suggestion that Soyster read Mairs' piece. Well done!
