The Between Space got incredibly bored and decided to click on one of his own stories.

After reading it he couldn’t help but award it 5 stars, for no particular reason other than the fact that sometimes he rated his own stories. But only the stories he would have read and appreciated no matter who penned them (which was his personal self-rating criteria).

Then he changed his mind. He liked it, but maybe it didn’t deserve 5.

So he awarded it 4 stars.

But the more he thought about it, it wasn’t quite on par with his best work, so he changed his mind again.

And awarded it 3 stars.

There’s no way I’m going to rate my own story with 3 stars.

Finally, The Between Space decided on 4 stars.

Instead of 1 rating, the story now, for some strange reason, had 23, even stranger only 5 people had somehow produced those 23 ratings.

Suddenly it was the most active story.

WTH ? he thought to himself.

I better report this oddity to tech support.

He had to admit. He still sort of liked the story.
