Imaginary Numbers
We had something planned for this week, I swear. It involved cashews. And a dead relative coming back to haunt someone. And then… then… Hell broke loose. Literally. Turns out an intern had chained up Hell in our basement, right next to the sink everyone’s afraid to touch because, by all accounts, it’s never been cleaned. But they, these same people who were afraid to clean the sink, were just as happy to dump in the contents of their spittoons, excess water buckets we give to each and every employee here at Sane Magazine, and contents of their commemorative snow globes, when the snow globes inevitably spring a slow, inexorable leak, avoiding having their desk littered with soggy paperwork due to some unfortunate manufacturer defect that has since, I’ve been told, been fixed.
Anyway. Some chain of events involving the surreptitious input into this sink, the lack of cleaning, and Hell having access to a blowtorch we had been storing near the sink, well, the chain of events led to Hell breaking loose. And stealing two cans of white gloss paint. I hope Hell realizes, unlike I did, that you can’t wash out gloss paint with water.
