Short Story 14: Paul's Treehouse

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

One more thing - the boy goes up in his treehouse on Thursday and the governor calls out the guard on Friday - so it is clear that the boy (who never really has any screen time except as someone being called to) knows what is going down before even the secular authorities can act - but all he can do is go up in the tree.
