I liked the story.  I think it&#x27;s fiction.  I&#x27;m trying to keep that fine line between fiction and article, where articles are non-fiction, but with the latest round of adver-articles.<p>If it&#x27;s one of those adver-articles, I guess it&#x27;s really advertising the new carbon steel leatherman tool, perfect for cutting your way through pesky car restraint straps.<p>Not often that HN points to some fiction, it was a welcome addition to my early morning routine.
