The Cutting Edge

I hate stories like this. Given the topic and situation, I can't not read it. So then I do and the story is pointless. Ugh. Precious minutes I will not get again. kthxbye.

This story only works because some of the characters are psychologically "abnormal." It's the same kind of substitute for carefully fleshed-out motivation as certain creatures being "evil" in a fantasy context.

(In fairness, a part of the "fun" would be wondering about your own professor. And some of the philosophizing about academia is interesting.)
