And The Word for Today is… Spear-Carrier
By Severina
“Sean, what are we doing about Guerra?”
and
“Murph, Glynn wants to see you. Now.”
and
“It wasn’t me, Officer Murphy!”
and
“It’s Floria. About that paperwork--”
I hang up (after flirting with Floria a little -- I am human), glance at the paperwork, and sigh. I can handle anything those fuckin’ mugs like Pancamo and Adebisi can throw at me, but requisition forms are going to kill me. I never shoulda agreed to take over, even temporarily. I’m a spear-carrier. Nothing more, nothing less.
“Murph, there’s a problem with the washing machines.”
Come back soon, Tim. I’m beggin’ ya.
