In The Line Of Fire...

Two weeks of utter mayhem..
it started with the most-delayed albeit most-expected one...an unusual birthday gift. It threw my daily schedule in jeopardy besides the obvious, him losing his job ie.
Shocking wouldn't be an accurate description in his case, considering the state of things at work, but i had to be antithetical in view for the sake of being understanding and consoling. It was, however a wake-up call...

Then came two more in one day...fellow wheat traders....the first culling of our batch. That sure did shake me to the core...for it also meant that i am probably the next in line if further reduction is considered necessary in wheat.

...a brutal realization of the perilous nature of my work...

He was merciful on Monday though...recovered some good ground.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you...

but then, not 'all' the world is sleeping, is a lesson you should have learnt very well by now, right? maybe you could modify that to 'when my part of the world is sleeping'...
