The clock ticks by on the wall. You raise your arms above you and feel your joints click into place. You press play.
"Louis, I need you in by the office by 7 am this time. See you soon."
You turn your head to the darkness out the window and nod on by it, it's enough to give you a semblance of time for now.
"Louis, remember those papers I asked you for last week? I need copies, hand written, but in blue this time."
You stir the coffee and watch the milk blend in before moving back through your doorway to set the cup down on your dresser.
"Louis, I think she's here again. You promised. Please. Make this stop. She's here. I can see here, right next to my desk. I can't do this."
You breathe in sharply, not just because you've just pulled your arm through the tight fitted suit jacket. You wait for the next click.
"Louis, never mind, it's fine. She left. I'm— I'm okay. Just please come here soon please. I know you told me not to stay up late here but, I can't. I can't do this."
And you walk back into the living room.
"End of all messages. Last message date 19*bleep*, October 14."
And you lie down on your carpet and curl up a bit as you stare into your ceiling in the darkness. Waiting to hear the sounds of the birds chirping.
