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.
Trey and I have been friends for quite a while now. We’ve played a few times, but mostly we’ve developed a great friendship. We were going to the movies today, the first time we’ve hooked up in a couple of weeks. When I arrived at his apartment, he was fiddling on his computer. I made myself comfortable on the sofa as he finished up his stuff. We had plenty of time before the movie started. After he finished, he came and sat in the chair next to the sofa. We talked about what we both had been up too in the last couple of weeks. While we talk online a lot, we still always have something to talk about in person. Trey looked pretty hot in his 14-hole black boots and matching black t-shirt with bold white letters spelling out “Skinhead.” There was a shine to his shaved head reflecting the sun coming through the blinds of his small apartment.
