Knock, knock.
The door slowly opened, and a man wearing a lab coat stepped into the room.
He wore simple black-framed glasses, behind which were eyes that exuded rigor and intelligence.
The man's face was calm and composed as he quickly scanned the room and looked toward the person behind the desk, asking gently, "Director, you've interrupted our sleep. Is there something you need?"
The director glanced at the woman clutched in the arms of the lab coat man.
The woman was petite and completely naked, with her arms lovingly wrapped around the man's neck, her legs entwined around his waist. Her ankles were twisted and knotted together like ropes, her head drooping on the man's shoulder, her pallid face staring lifelessly with fish-like eyes.
Hanging from her deathly pale neck was a work badge, displaying a recent photo taken at her employment, her smile pure and sweet.
