The Man who Mistook his Life for his Laptop

The story so far.

Stop. Allan. I love you and that is all that is important at the moment. I know you will want to know that the pitch was lost. But your job is safe. And that's all you need to know at the moment. I know you have been told about your health and we can work this out. So, how do you feel?

An amazing sense of relief to be honest. And you?

Relief, too. It simply wasn't working: I couldn't break your pattern of work addiction. I hope this might do it. And if it does, then something worthwhile has come out of this. I was very worried how it might all end. That you would fall asleep at the wheel or just walk out on us.

Well, I was going crazy and it had to change. And will change. I just need to decide how.

They held each other. They talked a little about dreams. About changing everything. But he was tired, so tired and he dozed off.

He awoke; refereshed. Time for that call. Was this the first time in his Life when he wasn't sure exactly what he was trying to achieve? Oh well, let's just do it.

He rang the number on Will Power's card. A message broke in.

"Hi. This is Will Power. Keep listening! I'm not here in person for you at the moment. However I will get back to you remarkably quickly; simply leave your name and number. Thank you; speak soon. Will"
