Hello,
This vignette was a writing challenge I set myself to keep awake during a long and otherwise unproductive meeting at work.
I would imagine that some people read the feedback threads before reading the corresponding stories, perhaps to decide whether the stories themselves are worth their time to read. If you are one of them, I'll give you a warning now: If you do choose to read the story, read it before reading any more of this thread! The story poses a puzzle to the reader, and I would imagine that someone will probably post the solution fairly shortly after the story itself has been posted...I fully expect that the writing challenge I had set for myself will prove to have been more difficult than the challenge I set for the reader at the end of the vignette. In order to avoid anyone accidentally reading the solution to my reader challenge, I will end this post with some spoiler space.
This vignette was not beta-ed. As always, feedback welcomed.
