Bad Day
After explaining to the executive editor that he had been writing such anonymous columns for two years, Tom still didn’t understand why as an AP writer his name wasn’t published, identifying his authorship.
Feeling slighted and misunderstood, Tom thanked his boss for listening and exited. Tom stepped outside, looked at his watch, and with the rest of his day open decided to self soothe with a bite to eat. First he needed cash. Seeing an ATM, Tom angrily wondered how a machine he couldn’t even reach could be credited to “Jeanie” while his writing read around the world would remain with no name. Tom’s appetite quickly vanished.
