Becker hunched gloomily over his computer keyboard, his mind a blank, his stomach a gurgling repository of soda and chili dogs, his soul a sea of despair. He clutched clumps of his curly, carrot-red hair in his pale hands and turned his bespectacled gaze toward the window. Viewed from the fifteenth floor, the smog of Los Angeles seemed to hover over the city like a living thing. It swelled and undulated like some inchoate, supernatural creature preying upon the ant-sized inhabitants of the streets, sucking away their life force to nourish itself for some dark, sinister purpose, so that eventually its strength would multiply a thousandfold, whereupon it would take over the dying, decadent city and ... and...
"Well, maybe not," Becker mumbled, reaching the end of that unpromising train of thought. In any event, he was safe from the smog for the time being. is window didn't open, and he was unlikely to be released from the building until he completed the task at hand. And he was starting to fear he would never complete the task at hand. Becker had a meeting scheduled tomorrow morning with Aaron Speller, the hotshot television producer affiliated with Paramour Pictures. Speller was expecting Becker to present him with a storyline for a Christmas special: an action-oriented, tastefully violent, and reverently sexy re-telling of the birth of Christ.
