Hill of Salt, Pile of Beans

This writer had recently gotten her story accepted elsewhere, and had written politely to withdraw said story from Salt Hill, where it was still under simultaneous consideration.  Apparently, however, Salt Hill prefers not to miss an opportunity to reject, so they sent a rejection out anyway a few weeks later.

Thank you very much for your recent submission to Salt Hill. Regrettably, we are unable to publish it at this time.

We remain thankful for your support and wish you the best of luck placing this work elsewhere. All the best, The Editors

Translation: Back at you, baby; we didn't want it anyway.
