Chapter Three

On Monday afternoon I skipped lunch to continue working on a media packet. Matta had told me Hamm needed the project done and on his desk by five. I had hoped to find time to grill Matta and Bob about their test experiences upstairs in the rooftop pool, but I was swamped. My questions would have to wait.

My cubicle is fluorescent-lit and small, like everyone else’s on the eleventh floor. The peons all work on my floor, where there are no windows to funnel glare onto your computer screen. To see the world outside, however, you have to go upstairs to the twelfth floor and step into one of the VIP offices or the conference rooms reserved for meetings with clients and job applicants. Whenever Hamm needed something from me, he usually sent someone down to my floor to pick it up. So unless I went upstairs for a meeting, I didn’t get to see much beyond my corkboard walls during most workdays.

I missed the scent of the sea, the sear of tropical sun on my bare skin. Locked away in my office for ten or twelve straight hours, I would begin to feel unbalanced and remote. Sometimes it felt like the real me was somewhere else while a pseudo-version of me floated along the corridors of DCI in a fluorescent bubble.
