       fabulous party in which high-rise were you dreaming about, Marla? You
      wake 
      up in a hotel room you don't recognize. You are hung over, and still wearing
       your skirt, lying on top of the covers. As you stumble to the bathroom,
      
      loosening your necklace, you check your pockets to make sure you have your
       keys, wallet, cell phone, and you look for clues. A business card. And
      you 
      remember: this is the person you were drinking with last night, the person
       who represents a large organization, the organization
        that is going to buy The Unknown. Finally, taking it and the 
      other Unknown off your hands. Making you rich? Probably not. 
       Successful? Probably not. 
       But finished, forever freed 
        of the Unknown? Yes.  You splash cold water on your face, tear the plastic 
        off a hotel glass, and try to force down an ibuprofen.  You fail. Marla.... |  |
