Well this left me with a lot to think about. I couldn't get the image of the crane out of my head. It left me with a lot of questions, especially the part where other members of staff seem to know his real name. Were you inspired by Bladerunner?
Ahhhh, got you! That's really hard to do when you're writing, isn't it? You don't know how vague to be or how obvious you need to be sometimes. I struggle with that. For microfiction and flash, I think that's perfect though.
What do you mean, that's the end. I need more!

Everything I do is inspired by Bladerunner.
But in seriousness, his real name is written inside the paper crane. My original, unedited version was much more on-the-nose about that.
Maybe as the author I'm not supposed to tell you that. I haven't quite figured that part out yet.
Nah that's good. I had to explain Banshees of Inisherin to my mum. It had fridge brilliance.
Well, now I have a new movie on my watchlist.
It's pretty good. Utter madness.
