About This Book
During a department-store holiday party, revelry yields a forgotten eighty-year-old unfilled customer order discovered inside a portrait; the assistant general manager persuades staff to bend rules and employ a recently developed time-warp device, normally limited to handling near-term complaints, to fulfill the order. The narrative follows preparations to supply the requested goods and the later arrival of a puzzling parcel at the customer's home, unfolding comedic complications and satiric observations about corporate ritual, customer service, and the unforeseen consequences of misusing technology.
