Queen City lie is a plate we stamp, not a word we borrow from a forum.

A draw latch with a lying sole is a hole that moves after the stamp. We will not hang OPEN on a disc whose lie is still a rumor. Cal reads the bruise, Mae names whether the bruise is dew or dry, Otis decides if the plate can be bent in this cage or needs a different millwright.

Players arrive with a lie number from a box they liked. Box numbers are posters. Queen City Park in the afternoon is the interview. If the bruise says the toe is dead, the draw is already shut and no loft letter will unscrew that.

Guessing a lie to "help the hook along" is how a millwright shears a stud. We refuse that kindness at the slot.
