40-year old Ace Brandon stared at the large letter M in black near the top of the white building in his light blue dress shirt, black pants, and black church shoes.

He was excited & nervous about his interview with Medium at 10:30 am. After pondering for ten more seconds, Ace finally headed to the entrance doors and opened the right door with his right hand.

The AC inside the building calmed Ace’s nerves as he took notice of the workers who were on their laptops; typing at various speeds. He wasn’t sure where the interview office was. He felt trepidation about disturbing the workers who were busy typing words.

Ace noticed one male worker with dark rings around his eyes typing with the speed of the Road Runner and had his eyes locked intensely on his laptop screen. He then noticed a female worker with Otis and Grey glasses on; typing calmly with her left hand while drinking coffee with her right hand.

Ace continued to walk by the workers of Medium who didn’t notice his presence. He saw two grey doors in his direction. Feeling confused and lost, he went to the nearest worker to find out where to go for his interview. The worker he was going to had a large brown afro with a black pick on the left side of his head.
