I sit in my chair
Ergonomically correct
Hypnotized by the click click clicking sounds

Watching people come in and out
And out and in
Those blasted elevators
Elevators that transport them to another dimension
The dimension of occupation

The roaring sound of takeoff
Landing to the sound of a ding!
<Doors open>

Click click click

“Good morning!”
I greet the alien in his Armani tailored suit
It speaks
But stares at his loaded blackberry weapon
He fires a business card at me

I brush it off
Rich bastard!

Click click click

Encircled in a sphere of olive walls
And golden frames of sailboats
Sailboats!
Regal plush chairs
And a mahogany coffee table with a picture book
A picture book of sailboats

And I sit
Waiting
Waiting
Clicking
Waiting

Isolated at my desk
Shaped like a wooden jewelry box
With it’s elegant mahogany finish
And it’s articulate engraved details
I am the ballerina dancing in my thoughts
Guarding the priceless jewel of creativity

Left alone
To hear the thunderous sounds of my keyboard

Click
Click
Click

It’s time to go home

What a great write! I really enjoyed reading this

Thank you big bro... I wrote it today, but it looks like I kinda jumped the gun... I am still clicking on my keyboard waiting to go home.

Your right. The opening is weak, I should work on that...

Bad day at the office, huh. Or was that a good day? lol
Fun read. Maybe after

you might spice this up with an abduction to oh, maybe the Bahamas. Go home early!

LOL It Friday!!! I've been waiting for it since Monday. I will try to sneak home early though, hopefully the aliens won't notice.

I like this one a lot... I didn't want to just jump on the 'nice write' bandwagon, but it is.
