Did you write this? I did not expect to find a full-grown short story in my inbox. The writing was sublime and the topic made me think. Maybe it really would be a great thing to have a condensed, easier companion piece to the classic works of literature as a way to make them less daunting of a proposition to an audience that grew up with bite-sized parcels of information and entertainment. It's a fact that reading books in on the retreat and that we're on the verge of an era, where books are again the domain of a select few.
Thanks for the kind words! This is something I wrote some time ago and I thought it would be pertinent to a lot of my recent essays. Part of my attempt to see if short stories can still find an audience if they’re in a different format.
You have a good grasp of the mid-career teacher's mentality; it was fun watching Nick's lassitude and intellectualism and ambition battle it out in a cage match for control over his career arc 💪
Sorry I'm late to the party with this one; only just now seeing it, thanks to the link on "Pixel Perfect". As others have said, it's great, and deserves many plaudits 👏👏👏

Much like the Digitally Remastered Editions in the story itself!
