Since leaving The Subjects, I’ve extensively rewritten this story and improved it to the point where I feel a little awkward about this old draft being out “in the wild”. So I’ve removed it for now. But it will return. Watch this space!

A casually smart woman in a blue shirt and jeans hands me a box. “Please take a seat” she says, indicating a green chair facing a white wall. This positioning seems strange but everything about this place has a slightly odd ring to it so I decide to just go with it.
