   First Swarmoon studied the item in the Warrior's grip.

   "What is that?"

   "A spoon."

   "Is there a malfunctioning Maker?"

   "I made it."

   "Why? You are no Maker."

   "I learned from a Human. They can all be Makers."

   "Humans are Warriors."

   "Humans are also."

   "Also?"

   "Never just one function."

     @Kytyn Good point, I'll try to remember to do that. These days, I post each story separately to all platforms, since there are different hashtags and hashtag cultures, so I can make that accommodation.

     Request: can you put a line break or two between the end of the stories and the line of hashtags please? When the hashtag phrases are right after the last line, especially in a story like this where there are several line breaks, it’s just disconcerting and looks odd.
