The only problem was that the 'm' and 'e' were missing. The outline was there but, no me. He half-smiled at the thought. Everything was there but me. He'd felt that way for years.----------"Quiet Desperation" is the story of a man who has recently suffered the loss of his wife and discovers that his boss is crooked.
