Bending and refracting through the gaps in the window blinds, the
morning light brought him a dusty glimpse of his reflection in the
computer monitor. He could see each of the seven years of
monotonous, mind-numbing work in that image like rings in a
sawn-down tree. For nearly ten hours a day since September 6, 2005,
he had sat behind this desk. That immobility and his stress-induced
eating had caused him to grow overweight - obese, according to his
wunderkind, Harvard-educated physician, who ate only nuts and
berries, or was it locusts and honey? And though he firmly believed
that the bags under his eyes had joined the jowls and second chin
as permanent additions to his face, an opportunity to test that
theory hadn't arisen in the three months since his last deal fell
through. Each day without a prospective project meant increased
pressure from the firm's partners, and, at this point, a truly
restful night of sleep seemed less likely than a move into the
White House. The cursor blinked a steady rhythm back at him. John
Dalton sighed.
