The Aneristic Illusion - 03

Somu Smile The Thought

Somu sat on his desk, tapping his fingernails on the mouse.
On his computer glowed an email that said "Eagle on 17th!"
For him Project Eagle was already on.

He had very little time, lesser budget, and too many challanges to score for this one. Challenges that were mostly vague, the kind that become "unforseen circumstances" later.
"So what's new?" he was thinking. "Let's just keep thinking, keep the smile on and even this will come to pass."

"you'll be starting from the 17th of this month."

"...twoooooo youuuuuuuuuu." clap! clap! clap! clap!

"Okay." Sa smiled a shrug and looking around, waved a small thank you to the happy birthday claps.
