Random literary moment
His chair squeaks a little with each movement he makes.
Tap, tap, tap, thud, thud - goes the keyboard and spacebar.
Somewhere in small of his pasty, middle-aged head, he feels a pain. A pain - like sugar on a cavity. Suddenly sharp, then dull in his teeth.
Tap, tap, tap. Enter.
He can smell his own stink hanging in the air. Missed putting on the Right Guard this morning in his hurried dash to work. That - along with a dull brown coffee stain just under the lapel, are his external sins for the day. No upper management for you, chunky monkey.
Your days here are like the sand – adrift.
Fifteen forms, three travel reservations, an emergency order of envelope labels, two check requests, a broken fax machine and his supervisors’ head on a pike. These are the things that he is thinking of. When the phone rings for the 23rd time today, his mind wanders homeward…to a dark room with all of his toys.
Rubberized fists dance in his head as he hangs up the phone.
