Aanh?

I seem to be 0 for 2 on the spy-writing lately. The short story I decided to work on while waiting for the dust to settle from the implosion of my novel-in-progress involves location X and plot device D. Apparently whatever made me think D was readily available in X, I was hallucinating. Relocating the story to where D is common isn't consistent with the characters, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get D into X that's consistent with reality.

The odds of the next project being SF are going up....
