It was ten a.m. and I was no closer to getting any productive work done, so I went to the break room for my second cup of the day. Naturally, the coffee pot was down to the undrinkable dregs. Joe stumbled in as I was washing it out. 
 
 `` Hey Joe. Did n't see you at the morning meeting. Did you just get in?'' 
 
 `` I know, I know, I called the bosslady to tell her I'd be running late. Did I miss anything at the meeting?'' 
 
 `` Nah. The presentation's due on Tuesday, Jake yells a lot, and the wi-fi's still haunted. Nothing that we did n't know already.'' I warmed up the percolator. `` So why were you late? Traffic problems?'' 
 
 `` No, I do n't have a car at the moment. My eldest crashed it into Mount Cervin last week. Knocked it clean into the ocean, created the Cervin Peninsula, and metamorphosed two mountaineers into dolphins. He's fine, but the car was totalled.'' 
 
 `` Oh yes, I heard about that.'' The dolphins' picture had been in the local news. `` But you've been on time since then, so you must have some way of getting about.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, I take the train. It got hit by a meteorite today, the entire line was held up and it took them forever to find a bus for us.'' 
 
 `` A *meteorite*? How does that happen?'' 
 
 `` Well, from the sound of it,'' Joe sketched a diagram in the air, `` this woman fell in love with a star, they started dating, he turned out to be the jealous type and checked up on her constantly to make sure she was n't cheating on him. I guess he did n't want her to know he was coming this time. She dumped him on the spot. The entire train heard the story, it was the loudest breakup I've heard since the Suez Rift.'' 
 
 Joe picked up his coffee, but in his unsteady grip a few scalding drops slopped onto his hand. He swore and hurled it towards the window. Where it hit the ground, it gave the bedrock of the region a rich brown stain, which would later be identified as iron ore.
