Dutch the Diver

You worked over a machinery drawing while Rasp poured half a scuttle of coal onto an already oppressive office fire. Leave the grate alone, Rasp; improving a flame past usefulness is not maintenance. You step into this one-chapter preview with Rasp at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The office door closed on an offer and a job still waiting to meet each other. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
