The donnacona paneling is done, except for the little bits that the big panels couldn’t get at. I’ll be patching those spots, then I’m going to spray some primer lightly over the boards to try to keep down the dust. This donnacona paneling is so soft and crumbly that it gets dust all over everything.
Once that layer is all in place, I’ll be hanging a bunch of moving blankets as a final layer of insulation. After that, it’ll be time to furnish the place so I can start working in it.

Acceptable Loss by Przemyslaw Zanko is the last story in the Quantum Shorts flash fiction collection. Its quantum themes are the multiverse, the uncertainty principle and decoherence, among others. If the uncertainty of multiple universes bothers you, is it okay to destroy all the other ones?
