    Taking my eyes off the page, I pluck my house key from my pocket and scratch another notch into the desk. I then stare across the room for a while at a wall calendar taped up between two floor-to-ceiling windows, searching for a clue as to which of those squares this morning falls on. Somewhere around the middle of that grid. That much I can say. I poke my head into the next cubicle and ask Hollis: what day is it? He says he doesn’t know either. I plop back down into my swivel chair. The screensaver pops up and I quickly move my mouse so the button-up conehead stalking between the cubicles ...xyTone door
