Come To Spelcheckia!
An Explanation
Back in about 2000, sitting in work and at a loose end (those were the days!), I got to idly wondering how the names of my colleagues would come out if they were run through MS Word™'s spell-checker.
Within a few minutes, I had some real beauts as some of my colleagues were translated into a parallel universe.
My original intention had been to write a straight (-ish) piece for the office magazine about this, but inspiration was running very low and nothing came of it.
A few months later, I was sitting at home trying to overcome Christmas indulgence when the idea came to me that a fictional landscape might be better. So, I set to it with biro and paper (pre-PC days, these) and within a couple of days, I had knocked off the piece of old tat you may be about to read.
OK, many of the nuances will be totally lost on you, because you don't work where I do. I think, though, that you might find enough references to the real world to make the experience of reading a pleasant one.
If you see a 
next to a name, put your mouse over it - it'll tell you the original name. As I say in the Disclaimer at the beginning of Episode 1, there is no link whatsoever between the person with the real name and the character portrayed in the story. I just hope my colleagues will still be speaking to me in a week or two from now...
