This is a story of literal and literary possibilities, well worth reading. So is the author interview. Thanks to Alicia Gifford for recommending it. Read it here.
This story is so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. Then, when I reflected on whether people could actually say and do the things in the story I laughed even harder. In the interview Manickavel says much of the inspiration for this story came for the vegetable markets - very well done.

It's a stunning story, isn't it? We're in the same online writing collective, I read this piece a while ago, it just floored me!

Yes, Tania! If we both (or three, adding Alicia) liked it, it must be really good. :-)
And thanks for posting!
