Electrician
My names Dave, and I’m an electrician. Every day, I get up, shave, and go to work fixing things. I also like to watch. I set up cameras in all the houses I fix. Then I go home and watch. The power went out in my house one night. I was fixing the fuse box in the basement and I noticed cameras everywhere. Someone had been watching me. The basement door closed and I heard it lock. “Now all your clients get to watch you, instead,” a voice said. “No, please. I value my privacy,” I shouted. They all laughed.

Time Out
He drew the brush across the surface, thrilling to watch the bristles’ trace fade into uniformity of color & texture. Up & down, back & forth, in countless swirls & diagonals, tracing brilliant though transient designs before his eyes, embracing them within each moment in the deep recesses of his mind.
