DARKLING ECLECTICA: the show that follows the sun

Continued from page 5

Going through the door will put you into our main office. It is something less than spacious. We've managed to fit four desks in here, one of which I am now sitting at, two filing cabinets, mostly empty, and three book cases, one of which is completely filled with comic books. If you're still standing in the doorway, the room runs lengthwise off to your left, along the outside wall of the building, which is why we have these windows. Speaking of which, I can see the sun starting,up over Student Services. I'd better wrap this up. At the end of the main office is the door that leads into the chaircreature's office. I'm the acting chaircreature until our new one arrives, which ought to be in a couple weeks. The reason I'm out here rather than in there is that the typewriter's out here. Normally, the typewriter would be at the second desk in the chaircreature's office, but we don't really have a typewriter yet; this one's just a loner until ours comes in. That ought to be in a couple of weeks, too. Anyhow, the chaircreature's office has two desks, another empty filing cabinet, two empty bookcases, and two windows. It's right at the corner of the building, so one window has a nice view of the park. The coffee maker is on the second desk now, where the typewriter's gOing to go, but we only use it to make cocoa. None of us can drink coffee. And that's the Darkling Eclectica offices. The sun's up outside, and I can see crows hopping around in the parking lot, so I'd better close up. But you know, out of all the peculiar things about this place, the one that's always struck me the most is that I can never seem to find these windows when I look at the building from the outside.
