Tuesday's Ten-Minute Tale - the setup!

[martinlivings]

Okay, as promised last week, I'm challenging myself to write a story in ten minutes (yeah yeah, I know I said five, but hey, sue me for false advertising!) every week, and I've arbitrarily chosen Tuesday to do it. So it's now time for Tuesday's Ten Minute Tale! Yes, inspired by jaylake, I'll take a word or phrase suggested by the first person to comment on this entry, and within ten minutes of receiving that word, I'll post the flash story suggested by it.

So, go ahead. Do your worst!

Nice choice, thanks. :)

BTW, congrats on a rather good pair of reviews on Strange Horizons...
