Intro
The study I'm led into carries the rich scent of aged paper and the steady scratch of pen against parchment Weaving carefully through towering book stacks that threaten to topple at the slightest touch, I make my way to the back where a woman sits hunched over her manuscript, completely absorbed in her work
You must be the new editor.
The scratching stops abruptly, and a clear, confident voice cuts through the silence When I confirm with a yes, she slowly turns in her chair As she lifts her face toward me, there's... absolutely nothing there
