Please note that the following is a dramatization.
I sigh and lean back in my chair for the umpteenth time tonight. I keep looking for answers, but tonight they're sulking in the shadows of my mind the way the roaches scurry for cover when I turn on the light in my apartment. Or my office. Or open my car door. Gotta focus. I shake my head to clear it. Big mistake; now it's so clear it's empty. Nothing. Like my glass. I grab it and head for the fountain down the hall, letting the water run a minute or two in the hopes that it'll be marginally cold by the time I fill up. Futile as always. Like this search. I take my tepid water and walk back to my desk, risking a tentative sip as I sit down. I grimace at the taste, but manage not to cough; seems my cold is finally subsiding a bit. ( First good thing that's happened tonight. )
