Shakespeare Challenge - Brush Up Your Shakespeare

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

1252 words. Another one of those stories that have hung around for awhile. It started out as a Star Trek story, but I couldn’t get past the “image that doesn’t exist in nature.” I transferred the image to an X-Files story I was working on about five years ago which never got finished (barely got started), and then came Ray and Benton. Perfect fit, I thought, and it made more sense with them anyway, so I’ve been massaging it for a couple months, waiting for the right challenge to come along.
