Daily Observance

Waiting outside the office, a guy with no right ear, just masking tape over the hole.

The other guy who always comes in late, cuts deep into the room, unpacks, unzips, sharpens, raises his hand first, and without writing a thing, voices his opinion, becomes the 'lead' to a discussion that -- because of him -- always and immediately turns to quick, cynical observations.

His right eye, eyelid, and upper cheek is bleached albino.
