The landing was smooth, again it was weird Kevin thought. Steve had told him last time they always train people on flights like this, so usually people aren't the best. This time though, smooth as silk. 

The flight attendants thanked him and Steve and they were off. Through to baggage...

Kevin bolted awake. 

"You good there buddy? Looks like you were having a crazy one. I got you a coke, and look they have sun chips."

Steven said shaking the bag excitedly. He now had his smartphone propped up like a TV. There was even a special case he had that...

Steven had all the gear. A neck pad, as well as eye mask. 

"How are you going to sleep its only like 3 hours." Kevin asked.


"Even if your eyes are closed you are still resting. Im gunna wake up like a spring chick."

The kid, realistically 26, said it in his mind. "Blue 3." He liked it, annoyingly, he usually hated these things. He hated visiting corporate.  Liked more actually putting code down. Writing and making. Not this shit, but his other boss, maybe a mentor, although he'd never call him that to...

There was a week where he wouldn't eat. It wasn't close to the time he faked his own death, but another time. He just stopped eating. Hoping that would change things. Make them have to come in. But they didn't. He'd pile up the food near the bed, so they'd...

The next day there was a speaker by the door with the food. It took him the whole day to press the power button. There was something about the object. A break from the paper and he thought it meant something was going to happen. Something was changing.

The ants he could get to assemble in a line. They liked the sugar he thought. They didn't do this really with cheese, sometimes bread, but really this water melon they really liked. He wished he could train them for other things. Convince them to bring him news from the...
