Sam
Sam was a contradiction. He wore shirts partially tucked in with socks often mismatched. His hair combed in glossy strokes.
He tiptoed to his office cubicle ignoring everyone. They ignored him. Except for Anne who monitored his quota. It must’ve been adequate for he continued to pass me at the reception desk.
One day, I didn’t notice the scent of his signature aftershave. Nor saw his forlorn face staring at the patterned floor as he entered.
A radio news feature announced him as a “person of interest.” Missing. His apartment trashed.
Suddenly, everyone at the office became interested in Sam.
