Condition matters little to me in my organization. New books are stacked with the poorly bound and rotting ones. Today I’m writing sci-fi, so I pick... a Richard Matheson book from the pile and flip through the acknowledgements to the first chapter, ‘PART ONE: January 1976…’ Its interesting reading books about the future written in the past, Orwell’s 1984, Matheson’s I Am Legend, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s fun to get into a book that is 100% bullshit and imagine what the original readers thought. Today was going to be one busy day. The contractor was to be there at eight to get started on the expansion of the Security Department. I had been around different types of construction all over the world and most times they seemed to move at a snails pace. I just didn't see how they were going to more than double our office space and have it ready to be occupied in less than thirty days. They hadn't even put up a string line yet.Then in the afternoon they were to hold the pre-bid information. As she approached she saw a mouse push through and drop to the floor, its very long tail still caught in the slot. Princess pounced, holding the mouse in her claws as she clamped her teeth at the back of its neck. Crunch! There, now she could play with it at her leisure... Something wrapped around her. The mouse’s tail! This was very strange, Princess thought.The tail grew wider and denser, quickly immobilizing and constricting the cat. “Mowrr!” she screamed. Then the not-mouse thing expanded. " Karen had piqued Shirley's interest now and she wouldn't let it drop."Well, I know you're gonna think I'm gay or something but ok; It's just that for a while now I keep having these feelings all the time and I know they're not normal but I can't help having them. I'd die if anyone found out and I try to fight it but I just can't stop. I guess what I want to ask you is, have you ever liked another girl?" What do you mean by like sweetie, I like you, I like a lot of women Karen", she asked.
