TIME’S LONELY ONE

"THE TIME is up, Master!"

When was the last time anyone had called me Master?

I turned my aching head. It ached from the confusing kaleidoscope of conversations, sounds and
sensations of the past few minutes:

The whispering that crescendoed into loud laughter.

People claiming they’d never heard such nonsense.

A woman’s husky voice that caused the laughter to cease abruptly.

"I beg your pardon!" a man exclaimed in consternation. "Are you trying to say that this even remotely
resembles the truth?"

The woman’s voice, exploding in anger. Then the roar of laughter again. It could only be Job—nobody
laughed as loud as Job Malvers over trivialities. If only he’d inhibit his imbecilic guffawing for once! I

Teftris equation have to be completely wrong? Hey, Olaf, what’s the matter with you? Olaf! I mean you!
What’s wrong with the equation? Olaf… Olaf… Olaf!"
