A strange clamness came over him as he entered the silent room...


Dex was finally ready to sign the recording contract.  His years of sweat and toil is finally paying off.  He couldn't believe his good fortune, his nerves were beginning to get the best of him.  He straightened his tie and tugged at his suit sleeves, he wondered about his overall appearance and decided that it was too late to worry about how he looked.  "I've arrived," he said to himself.  "This is what success feels like."   He sat on the plush white leather sofa and gazed at the abstract murals that graced the few solid walls that existed, while waiting for the receptionist to send him into the office where his life would change forever.  In the mean time he looked at his surroundings, glass everywhere, so much glass, and the black marble floors reflected the glare of the light from outside, the office appeard to float above the streets more than fifty stories below. 

"Mr. Dexter," said the beautiful young receptionist from behind her marble surroundings.  "I'll take you in to see E'mil now."  She moved to the front of the counter and motioned for him to follow her, "this way she said softly, her red lips smiling, and her hips moving seductively.in a tight lepard print mini-skirt"  She lead him down a  corridor where the carpet was so plush he almost lost his footing.  She came to a set of carved double doors, a stark contrast to the modern accoutrements from the entrance.  She opened the door and in one smooth movement beckoned him to enter, a strange clamness came over him as he entered the silent room where E'mil sat wating behind a huge plexiglass desk to change his life forever.
