Required Repairs

[...] I would still put this story in the middling range of Exceptional Stories, and on the low end for Gavin Inglis, though that speaks to his high average quality.

The story follows a comedy of errors as your lodgings become more and more damaged despite your best efforts to repair it. You meet a man from the local Borough Council who professes helpfulness but may have ulterior motives. Eventually you work out that the underlying reason for all the needed repairs may be somewhat sinister, and get some options on how to resolve things. It’s a fairly compact plot, with a pretty good sense of humor (including a Sorrow Spider pun I could believe was the genesis of the entire story), but there are issues that stick out.
