Chapter 26: Nora

I woke to the sound of my phone ringing in the darkness. It was Miranda.

“What do you want?” I asked trying to hide the sleep in my voice. “Did you forget that we have a Skype meeting with Wilk today?” she said in her most condescending tone. “Shit! What time is it?” I asked trying to find the light switch in the darkness. “Almost noon, you live in a damn cave!” she screamed at me and hung up. Our meeting was in about a half-hour so I still had time to throw my face on at least. Miranda was right though. The windows in my room have been covered in thick black light-blocking curtains for years.
