For the past three weeks, I have been slowly, methodically erased. Not existentially (though give it time), but technologically. First, my laptop camera at home blinked out. No warning. No flicker of rebellion. Just gone. A quiet resignation from the land of Zoom squares and forced eye contact. […]
There was a time not that long ago when I considered myself a stealth operator in the wild terrain of office hallways. Baseball cap pulled low, eyes fixed forward, stride purposeful. If there were an Olympic sport for avoiding small talk, I would have been on the podium, […]
Sometimes, all you want at the end of a long day is a good whodunnit with just enough twists to make you furrow your brow and wonder if you could have pulled off the perfect murder (you know, hypothetically… with plausible deniability). So along came The Residence on […]
