Chekhov's Gun

Okay.

This is it.

This is it.

I take a deep breath, and walk forward, into the bright sunlight and cheering crowds of the stadium.

The announcer is blaring away - “the Sixth Annual World Championships! And” - but I tune him out, focusing on my opponent. Establish early, I can remember my master saying, her moonlit voice bathing our practice hall.

This was clever and intriguing on SO many levels, and worked on every single one of them. :)

Stitching this together was hard! My favourite stories ever work on multiple levels even as each level comments on the others, and this gave me a little taste of just how difficult that must be.
