That was good, and so are the author's two other short stories that were published in the Toast previously.

Reminds me a bit of one of my favorite Night Vale episodes -- the story of Fey -- but this is better.

Hey, small world! Kendra is a friend. I'm so glad to see her show up here. I spent last Friday babbling about Metafilter to her, and telling her how much she'd fit in here.

Yes, I actually had a longer FPP on a different matter ready to go, but as soon as I read her story I was all I MUST SHARE THIS WITH EVERYBODY.

If people like this, by the way, they might like Ghosts In The Machine, a collection of short stories around bugs and glitches in games.
