e Successful Life

She had been asleep.

A deep, dreamless nothing, and now – thanks to the ring of a phone
alarm – she was awake and didn’t know where she was.
e phone told her it was 6:30 a.m. A light switch beside the bed
appeared, thanks to the glow of the screen. Switching it on, she could see she
was in a hotel room. It was rather plush, in a bland and blue and corporate

kind of way.
A tasteful semi-abstract sub-Cezanne painting of an apple – or maybe a
pear – was framed on the wall.

ere was a half-empty cylinder-shaped glass bottle of still mineral water
beside the bed. And an unopened collection of shortbread biscuits. Some
printed-out papers too, stapled together. A timet able of some sort.
She looked at it.
