Part 21 – “Severance”
Day 257.
Russell’s phone rang.
“Director Preston,” the caller ID read.
“Good morning, Director,” Russell said with a yawn, and with a hoarse morning voice.
“Russell, if you’re done with your morning routine, please come to the office.”
“But what about James?”
A pause from Preston.
“I’ve assigned someone else to do your job, at least until lunch.”
As requested, Russell went to the director’s office – in reality just an office desk, with an empty area opposite the working space and a window overlooking the sand track.
The furnishings were nice enough, with the chairs being leather, and the shelves being decorated with trinkets among other pleasant installments.
