The wandering meeting — a room for one change

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Attention with edges

At closing time, Sam found the question still waiting on the table. Under it was a description: “A meeting drifts into an interesting but separate problem.”

Sam did not have time to solve every question in the room. There was time to write one useful proposal: “Record that question in a named place and return to the stated decision.”

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.
