[hqsthuih] Polyhedron story

Write a story whose structure is a polyhdron: faces represent characters, edges are interactions between characters, and vertices the meeting of several characters in an episode.  How can the story be written to emphasize its geometric properties?

Of particular interest might be abstract polytopes such as the 11-cell which can't exist in Euclidean space (but we have no such constraint for a story).  We'll need an additional entity to represent the extra dimension.

Regular polyhedra probably result in boring, repetitive stories.
