Story

Let's tell a story.  "Characters" or "events" may or may not be based on fantasy or reality.

Some background or context:
  • "Takes place" in a home, office, or "public space".
  • Starts with intrusive or polite "conversation".
  • Ends with jest or sarcasm.
Actual or "sample" dialog:
  • Individuals 1 or 2: "Good afternoon or morning.  How are you?"
  • Individual 3: "Good or well."
  • Individuals 1 or 2: "Do anything fun or interesting lately?"
  • Individual 3: "No or 'not really'".
  • Individuals 1 or 2: "Do you have children or kids?"
  • Individual 3: "I'm not allowed near children or small animals - court order".
All or most conversations are private "by default" or technically.  Our "choice of words" or "tone" is never or sometimes "shaped" by that assumption.

In a world where the "easily offended" or "militant" reign supreme, what may or may not happen next?

We can only answer by explaining what not to do:
  • Don't submit an online tip to the FBI or CIA.  One is required to investigate everything or nothing.  One doesn't care about "internal affairs".
  • Make sure your tip is "impressive" and "well-received" or be forever "penalized".
  • Always assume a "worst-case scenario" exists or that there's no such thing as sarcasm.
No "investigation" is ever "final" or any investigation shall be "re-opened" when evidence is presented or suggested.

Backward or "case closed".
