Not sure I'm comfortable calling it a story, and I suspect you might well be disappointed if that is what you're expecting, but anyway, it and other structural writings (as well as several narratives) can be found here in .pdf form (for free, except the very high cost of one's time): http://www.timramick.net Ed: A friend has alerted me that Rick Moody mentioned my writing (specifically a short work called “Foursquare”) in an “interview” with David Foster Wallace and that you went web crawling for it to no avail.

He does a lot with structure on the page, writing from various perspectives simultaneously--a literary cubist. This is intellectual, dense but lyrical stuff that definitely messs with the reader's head. In addition to the structured pieces like Foursquare, there's more near-narrative stuff on his site: www.timramick.net The Foursquare piece Rick Moody mentioned was written by an experimental/exploratory–and yes, innovative–writer named Tim Ramick.

Moody tried to give us a sense of perspective but came across like an overpaid focus-puller, or a froggy-eyed camera operator. I'm sure this see could have sawed with a competent moderator at the helm. DFW was artful in balancing his humility, self-deprecation, despair, and snide snootiness.
