Author's note: This is a repost of one of my most viewed posts, which was originally published on 11/03/2023. I had 150 fewer subscribers then than I do now, so I'm republishing. Unlike most of my posts, this one isn't an essay or poetry. It's short fiction, a style I'm also very fond of. All comments are welcome.
