Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Digital things that explain themselves

At closing time, Mira found the question still waiting on the table. Under it was a description: “A decorative line of text looks like a working link.”

Mira did not have time to solve every question in the room. There was time to write one useful proposal: “Use a plain label for decoration and a real link for navigation.”

At closing time the following day, the question was no longer hidden. It had a place, a small answer, and room for a better one.
