Editor person at last came through with the needed revisions ( draft four, revision two ). Only they were in Chicago, so I was stuck dealing with their rogue lackey. Rogue lackey greeted me at the door, with a scowl and this note.
To: sam
From : editor person
Subject: edit done – on sideboard in kitchen
Message : see subject
sam : I’ll just get my pages and be on my way.
rogue lackey : They said give you the note.
sam( presenting note ): Right. And the note says the pages are done.
rouge lackey: It says on sideboard in kitchen..
sam: Can I have my pages please?
The lackey retreated, returning moments later with a large manila envelope labeled edits for sam and passed it to me. I opened the envelope to reveal the revised pages. I thanked the rogue lackey.
sam: Thanks rogue lackey.
Rogue lackey took a swipe at me but I backpedaled and ran for my car. They stood little chance against a man on a mission…
