Excerpt:
\\u201cMe for? For\\u2026me\\u2026only? No, not. For all.\\u201d

Quin peered at the man who was her mentor, her friend, and now, her charge. It was late, and they were both tired. But she believed that she under-stood what he was trying to say, as he took in the flurry of effort that was being directed toward the sin-gular aim of helping him.

What\\u2019s the Word (that inspired the story)?
This time, it was the story idea that inspired the words. I combined the Greek words \\u201clexi\\u201d meaning \\u201cword\\u201d with \\u201csyncheo,\\u201d which means \\u201cconfuse\\u201d to devise the title of this story, and the name of the syndrome that afflicts \\u201cthe greatest orator in the known worlds.\\u201d (source: Google translate)
