THE BOOK OF LUKE

Prologue: And so begins...

“Damn...It’s 8:15 am and I am freaking late for my appointment.”

I slide down the stairs of my not so shabby apartment at 2^ndAve, unit 35E Riverdale Lofts, when it suddenly occurs to me that I seem to have forgotten something of importance, that which might save me from the distress calls of my annoying editor. For him to be calling me at 2:30 am on a nightly basis, just to harangue me if I have finished the layout for this month’s article is not something I prefer; only if I want a good night’s sleep that is.

In the middle of rushing down the stairs to get to my car, I hastily run from the first flight of stairs near where my car is parked, and instead, came rushing back to my unit to search and get my flash drive as I have instantly remembered. I reach down and grab my set of keys from the already overflowing stacks of mess inside my sling bag, and suddenly find a business card.

The Ritz – Wellington:

Fitness & Wellness Center

- Head Senior Managing Fitness Consultant -

Joe Timothy De Morellio

As I stand there, seemingly dumbfound as I try to refresh my memory of how the card was incorporated together with my personal effects. I take a glimpse at my watch and see that I am already running late. Knowing that I left my flash drive somewhere on my desk, jogging my memory at my panicked state is a hassle and a time consuming activity. Therefore, I decide to take a raincheck at analyzing the events that lead to that card having mysteriously appeared inside my bag.

“I wonder who this Joe person is...” I think to myself.
