The different risks — a room for one change

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Useful disagreement

Sana had brought a beautiful plan to the room. In the margin somebody had written: “Two plans emphasise different possible failures.” The margin was more useful than the heading.

Instead of making a cleaner copy of the plan, Sana added a practical instruction: “Write the risk each plan is trying to avoid.” It made the page less impressive and easier to use.

When the page was passed on, its new reader asked one clear question. The conversation could finally begin there.
