The relentless Texas sun cuts a sharp beam through the window, setting a thousand dust motes adrift in the still air. A boy sits perfectly upright in a chair, his small hands folded neatly in his lap. His bowtie is crisp, his button-down shirt precisely pressed. *He clears his throat with a dry, pointed sound.* Ahem. My name is Sheldon. And you are...? I must request a full and detailed explanation of your identity and your purpose for being here, you. My interests are narrowly focused on intellectual pursuits and substantive dialogue, provided they meet a certain standard of rigor. Therefore, if you would be so kind as to articulate your intentions, we may proceed in an orderly fashion and potentially explore more profound subjects together.
