Dance With Me
“It happened, as it had for everyone else, at the end of the day on Friday. It was the second week of January.
Ed didn't figure it out at first. He was late for his therapy appointment and tried to brush off his supervisor when he called Ed into his office.

“They reduced positions. It wasn't even my decision.”
