Although I alas received only three submissions (#a, #b, and #c), following my call for thumb-related short stories, I may as well go and have a poll (for two weeks) as to which one was most appreciated by ‘Og’s readers… (I just noticed you cannot put links within the poll answers, most annoyingly!)
As this poll did not receive the attention it deserves, I let it run for a while. Now it is time to disclose the authors of these short stories: they all are from QUT to some extent: #a was written by Matt Moores, #c was written by Kate Lee (formerly at QUT and now in Auckland, New Zealand), and #b by myself (also adjunct professor at QUT!). Thanks to Kate and Matt for contributing those highly original alternative realities about my thumb. (I wrote mine based on a close brush with loosing a finger during a summer job working in the kitchen of a summer camp, 35 years ago.)
