Hi, listeners. I have a story I want to tell you.

There was this doctor over at St. Agri's who would kill his patients.

Oh yes, it was madness.

Aren't you afraid the light take might get you?

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.

That adrenaline. I want more of it.

I snapped. Totally lost it.

He had no idea what was on those tapes.

It was like a song.

It's Ollie and the Outcast.

So gather around.

And listen.

Close.

Close. I didn't bother to check for typos as I finally sent the email I'd been working on.

I pushed back my chair and stood, stretching my arms above my head, and rolling my stiff neck.

When I made the transition from crew to admin at Summit Builders,

I had wondered if I'd have to invest in more office-appropriate attire.

But when I arrived, wearing the same Carhart uniform I'd always worn,

I was pleasantly greeted by a bunch of

guys sporting the same get-up. Like me, they'd mostly come from the crew, not because they wanted

a desk job, but because their bodies had been broken by years of physical labor. Well, I guess I was a little different.

I hadn't had a choice.
