Atlas

The day had been long and mostly boring. Nothing like the drudgery of paperwork. But now it was all wrapped up and John decided he needed a real meal. He pulled Atlas along to a cozy little pub and ordered a beer and a steak pie. And then he added on chips and gravy.

"I'm so glad I have tomorrow off," he said, sipping his pint. "Are you going to go in or would you rather find something to do with me?"
