A sudden idea for a story

[igenlode]

Circa fifteen hundred completely unexpected words written on a theme that didn't even exist at lunch-time: I am shocked, I tell you, shocked :-)

(Although the theme is buried *even* more deeply under backstory than usual, to the extent that the characters only managed to exchange two words of dialogue in the first thousand words : I might need to rework that a bit in case readers completely lose track of what's going on. I want the punchline to come as a surprise -- if I can manage it, which may not be possible -- but at the moment the clues are utterly obscured by angst ;-)
