Three desks, one corridor

Line framer

Ellis Brant

Clothes the skylight. Distrusts “strong” the way an editor distrusts an adverb. Walks Cascades oaks before staff hours.

Scribe

Draws edges. Keeps pine straw honestly dry. Will stop an hour if you quote a catalog loft as evidence.

Desk

Owns the inbox. Refuses Sunday theater. Knows which Monroe garage is a trap on a session day at the capitol.
