The uncertain review — a room for one change

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · A place for unfinished work

Lina had brought a beautiful plan to the room. In the margin somebody had written: “A draft is waiting for review but nobody knows by whom.” The margin was more useful than the heading.

Instead of making a cleaner copy of the plan, Lina added a practical instruction: “Name the reviewer and the question the review should answer.” 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.
