Sunday Six
Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project — published, submitted, in progress, for your cat — whatever.
This was supposed to be a quick ficlet, but it stalled on me. Hopefully posting it here will give me the motivation to finish it. Jasper gets promoted — welcome to Level 7.
Jasper sat alone in a quiet corner of the busy cafeteria, staring unseeingly at the bustle as he spun his cup of coffee between his hands. He silently wished he were away from the office, anywhere else, where he could down a beer or six.
He glanced at the new badge on the table in front of him, shiny plastic proclaiming his new clearance level. Maria had handed it to him after the morning’s briefings, offering murmured congratulations and a notice that he’d be briefed over the next few days regarding current and upcoming operations.
It was a far cry from his previous promotion, which had included cake, alcohol, and laughter. So much laughter and ribbing, especially the kind that came with nothing more than a sly quirk of the lips and humor sparking in clear blue eyes.
