Day 26

Dear Reader,

Don’t you just love Monday’s? Me, neither. I suppose I would if I had more control over them. But my Mondays are typically filled with meetings organized by others and I am just a participant. Today was one of those days. I had to give a presentation at one of the meetings. Which went well enough. It is just time-consuming and interrupts the regular workflow of the day.

There was no time for a lunch break today so my midday writing plans had to be put on hold. But, I have been very productive this evening and working on catching up for the writing I didn’t do over the weekend.

Here’s a sneak peek from my efforts. Simon is the navigator on a newly refitted ship to be used for cargo transport between off-world colonies:

Simon smiled to himself. He couldn’t wait to get back out there. He had been forced out of Federation service when he lost his eye. And staying on Earth gave him the hives. He needed to get back out in the black, as he called it. He pulled out his personal communication unit or PCU and pressed the button for Korin Chambers.

“KC, itsSimon. Are you busy?”

“Not really, what do you need?

“It isn’t what I need, it what you need?”

“Really, and what is that?”

“ A job.”

“I’m listening.”

“Can you come to the docks over at Wallops, slip 62?”
