We removed it from the site. (Hopefully just for a short period!)

What happened is that at KP we have a policy of editing all our submissions before publication. The lady who submitted that piece was either unaware of that, or didn’t fully understand what it implied, so she was surprised when her piece was published to find that her story was slightly modified (not in content and the minor rewording was for the better, but it was still slightly modified.) She has asked us to remove the story until we can come to a mutual agreement as to what to do. We have complied.

On our part, we are making our editing policy statement clearer and from now on we will be running our edits on short stories past the authors to make sure they have no /major/ objections before we publish them.

On her part, she is currently working with us to see if she can maintain the original wording in a few cases where she particularly preferred how it had originally been while still letting us keep most of the edits. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly and we will be able to have the story up again. 🙂
