Supervision

My supervisor said to me, "So, what is controversial or unexpected about your account?"

I surprised both him and myself when I told him the truth. It was controversial and unexpected too.

For my story contained the narrative of the Diaspora, and the sons of China's plains, and what they did at the Celestial Reasoning Association. And it was the story of the Gnome, and of the Citadel of the Wyverns, and how the two-faced gryphon betrayed them all.

At the end of it, my supervisor nodded. "That will do," he said.
