Sniper

I feel like a sniper when I get into work. I walk into the quiet office and cut on the lights, which give a low hum in return as they heat up. I take off my watch and cellphone and place both of them on my desk. The overhead light mixes with the beginnings of sunlight outside and they both reflect back with a high silver gloss. I take my machine out of its case, plug it in, and fire it up. I spend the rest of the day picking off problems from afar, one by one.
