I had all my people work in a neat stack next to my microphone, but
Station management moved it or they
through the way or eight it I don't know, but what was
in place of my neatly tight and well researched news stories was a pile of memos about office for innovations,

All I ve been doing today is cleaning up my office space. I didn't even much but

remember ordering it, but there it is,
juicy mysterious fish patty with milk
It came a bare and salami on a sour bun. Oh I'm starving, but I must wait.
Until the show is done and now in

we heard this morning a man who looked sound.
And smelled exactly like Rima stopped by our offices. I was

Did you kill him?
I always heard you should kill your double this person
green paused? He said he had it considered that, but I could see on his face that he was considering it now.
What did know where his parents were. He told me that the other
had taken them from his home town in a place called mitch mentioned it.
Mitch ended in an hour.
that in turn, Karim had talked about this place before
I was about to offer to make some calls when I heard a deep,
mean voice from behind me. It was a voice,
voice that sounded like many voices to many voices in human voices
no guests, the voice, boomed,
I saw a green space, go pale and slack his eyes bulged here
What was behind be? He saw
what no one should ever see these.
Station management run. I whispered urgently to him, but he did not move.
Run I grunted again above him.
A set of long razor, sharp teeth hung and just like that

We're Kareem's head had been seconds before he was finally running

You have a double and I think he might
want to kill you,

staring at me.
Oh cecil you're only hungry. Let it go.

you found religion but we're all tired of hearing about hunter car returning to human form on earth,
here's another memo and this
instructed me.
Attention cecil gerstein palmer, you have been play
in charge of cleaning out there.

It says here that the finance office has already cleared out all the boxes. I only
we need to do a thorough sweep and wet mocked the floors. This is for you
He was why me why
clarence murphy, the maintenance man to do all of that. That's his job to listeners,
a very warm and damp hand just
slid another memo over my shoulder,
I want to turn around to see who or what it is. But I know I should not never look back, cecil, never look back. Ok, the subject line the maid
its man body of memo, says it was forty
years ago on the night just like tonight: maintenance,
an clarence murphy disappeared, something
he retired and move to palm desert. Some say here
el into the boiler his body
never discovered
Some say he transcended the next plane to being. But the truth is he never existed in the first place, we are all clarence murphy, the maintenance man. He was a collective dream. He had.
oh body, yet he lives on within us.
Please please,

the way down the route stem so tired. I need
food badly, where's that salmon burger. Maybe I can take out quick bite or to be worded
the salmon burger, was sitting right here, only two feet from me, and now now it's gone up who
scared me listeners. This, a strange man hunched over my desk, sorry
I see so it's me Joseph think. We we met in the coffee shop a few weeks back
you said I could come visit you at the station whenever I wanted. Oh, yes,
of course, Joseph the pod, a pod pod person, yet podcaster. I
created night, fail, and that
Why I wanted to come by I've been
out here in this town of my own making- and it's been really hard-
because it's not a nice place. It's surprisingly nice here in fact
it's been hard because I've been trying to get home to see my wife, Megan and my baby, who have now
met, and it is more than a year old, now
I'm so sorry to hear that you know my.
Spend, and I went through a similar situation a few years back. Oh course he did. I wrote that I don't follow.
You know it. There was a very nice of you to say thank you.
but while searching for away home, I've managed to meet a lot of people, and I found it-
fascinating in I met Dana cardinal and she's. This, isn't it
It can be sent to you but
sounds exactly like my friend jessica though she,
looks totally different.
I realise in writing the characters for the show that I never really think about what they look like. I guess
this vision, the actors who play them
yeah, you're right this: is it making sense away
that's not true. Michel win looks a lot like Kate Jones. That was freaky, but, like you, you don't look.
Thing like cecil baldwin. Ok, oh! What do I look like
that's good point. Let me describe your exact physical appearance, so
First off you, I was tat while I,
can't see exactly what you see but based on the smell, a bert hair and olive brine, and the look on your face. It's probably station management.
I never would have imagined them. Looking like that, I mean Joseph.
station management does not like guests in the building. I need you to,
oh clean, the breakthrough, but why?
Will you're a new internet, absolutely not no way what you're in the building without a guest pass. So, according to station managements rule book, you either work here or you
I hear ok understood
cleaners or under the sink next, the snake bucket. Great,
enter joseph and station management have finally left while listeners,
this day is too much
hungary out dang, I should have said
out my new intern to get me lunch since my salmon burger disappeared. Oh no, wait here, it is.
Listeners, my salmon berger is climbing the wall. It's about eighteen inches wide. Now, if you include the light
of its long sharp legs and it
climbed the wall. I now

The.
ok offices are all cleared out:
finally moved down into the basement, it's very dark
but renovation have begun, and by this time next week will have a sparkling new office. That's the good news now the bad news,
to the family and friends of Joseph think. He was a good in turn and he will be missed.
You got the room super clean plus. He told funny stories about how he created this town, but
and a foul of station management he drew
did one of our lives spots and that will require a make good Joseph did the un's
forgivable. So station management did the unspeakable they towered over the frightened Joseph their teeth bear.
their sharp claws reared back and in one
fell swoop,
delivered down upon him, a pink slip, inspired

each over josephs error turned immediately into rage against my spider shaped salmon burger.
It turns out station management, was right about that seance that the sale seem forgot to close out,
since the science had been left, opened that poultry,
I start debit, girl, demon or whatever I got loose. It then possessed the
first piece of flesh. It found which turned out to be my samad burger

another hand. They called the exorcist and demanded she arrived this afternoon rather than tomorrow morning.
There are other hands. They were typing up or memos about how to properly open and close a sales
You know, I don't always see eye to eye with station management,
mostly because we're not allowed to look directly at them without mortal consequences.
but also because we sometimes differ on ways to run a radio station. Still I'm glad they had our back
it's like that seen in hamlet, when hamlet tells ophelia, I'd fall
