This novella is a metanarrative with real quotes from real experiences delivered by characters who are composites of several real individuals. While a novella, the reality is nested in each of the reactions to their real-world experiences. It is a work of fiction, but as the philosopher Albert Camus said, “Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.” It is an all-too-common story of good intentions poorly applied, creating unanticipated outcomes.
