    I don't get it. What is this site? Is there supposed to be a moral to this story?

      Well, their "About" page explains that it's a journal "dedicated to two big ideas…: equality under the law and global federalism." But more relevantly, also that they publish "short stories and memoirs, because stories — shared at the fire pit of hunting camps and at feasts on Thanksgiving Day or Eid al-Fitr — are also essential to who we are."

      As with any kind of literary fiction, what moral (if any) you take from this story is largely up to you.

        Thanks, I get more of the idea now. That's cool. Just a bit abrupt with the title and lack of context.

        If only there were navigation links at the top of the page, one even labeled "about" that one could utilize to solve such an inscrutable mystery...

          I did read that but it didn't click, as it wasn't really clear either from the story how it relates to the themes of law/global federalism.
