Written for HN: The Robe of Entrepreneurship, a Short Story

I wrote this short story because I enjoy the culture on Hacker News and because I was reading Maslow on Management. In the Maslow book, he was talking about the psychological importance of entrepreneurs to a society, and even recommended something like a monk's robe for entrepreneurs in order to endow them with a respect similar to doctors or other respected professions.

I find my best short stories are ones where I restrict myself to a theme or idea. In this case, the restricting theme was entrepreneurship.

This is slightly offtopic, but the first time I saw Kobe Bryant play (in the McDonalds High School All-American Game) he wore a shirt under his jersey with one long sleeve, one no sleeve. Despite how you feel about him personally he is definitely his own person. This story seems to validate the concept that individuals can and should do things that make them...individuals...including wearing shirts with one short and one long sleeve.
