BOOM

He calls himself an Ideas Man. I am an Ideas Man, he says. I make Ideas for you. He walks into interviews and looks around the office. He cups his chin and looks around. He comes up with three ideas. On the spot. And these are new ideas. Idea number One. The coffee table. Stand it on its side. Make it pillar for a blanket fort. Idea number Two. The paperweight. Pin a quilt down onto the desk. Now you've got a backing wall. Idea number Three. The stapler. Staple a few sheets to the sheet rock above the cabinet. A couple more into the plywood bookshelf. See what happens. See what you think. He cups his chin again. Idea number Four. And again on the spot. The water cooler. Make it a second pillar. Fort size doubled. Boom, he says. He stands in the office and looks at the man behind the desk. He whispers, boom.
