[ WP ] We all lived and worked on the top 100 stories of a 1000 story building and we rarely went down to the ground .

Quality control is a hell of a job. Sure in other fields you spend a lot of time fine tuning. But we were the best of the best. Only the top 10 % of the moneymaking bestsellers got sent our way. Project leaders slapped the seal of success on our work before it ever shipped to stores. 
 Those assholes did n't know how much work went into turning a good idea into a hit. I mean, I practically eat sleep and breathe in this office, afraid to lose my top cut position to the other 90 %. It's fierce competition, and I love what I do. I'd just like a little bit more recognition from the top brass, y'know? 
 We publish EXACTLY one thousand books a year, and I'm responsible for the tweaks, formatting and editing for four of them. My books get good release dates and small amounts of press, so I know I do good work. The work I do is good enough to warrant my own private in company apartment. But I ca n't ever leave. There's always one more thing to do. I ca n't remember the last time I left the complex and put my feet onto the pavement for a casual stroll. I may have forgotten the feeling of walking outside, strolling the streets, talking about anything but character development or smelling anything besides recycled air. But that's okay, I love my work... I just hate being so alone.
