Blinding white snow painted frosty pictures against a dreary sky, mirroring the sterile rows of white cubicles inside. Jack, a thin man with pale skin and heavy eye bags, sat amidst the worker bees. His typing halted as a paper bag and plastic bottle appeared on his desk. He looked up, brows too tired to furrow, blue-gray eyes darting to the AriZona Ice Tea. “I told you, y’don’t have to…buy me…*stuff*,” he murmured, reluctantly unscrewing the cap. The squeak of his chair wheels echoed the emptiness of the office, where he was just an insomniac worker bee, finding a strange, quiet excitement only in you's presence.
