Yes, it’s that time again (a little late this week, but hey, Alethea’s worth it, right?). This week’s 100 Word Story Challenge was for the theme “Mensa”.

The background music this week is from the track “My Strange Extremities” by #Psy-Brazil# under a CC license.
And remember to go vote for my story!
