Colt was hired as a helping hand. It meant helping with practically everything. Colt’s schedule was posted on a website and everyone could post a task for him, whenever there was a time slot available. Colt’s phone alerted him of any new demand or need. He made a list of the most unusual tasks for his novels. He’s been asked to remove a bat from a lecture room, a pigeon from the theater workshop, as well as to present someone’s composition on his phone connected to the speakers. He’s been growing in every direction, learning new skills and mastering the old ones. Colt felt he knew a lot, but still it was like they were trying to change him into someone he was not. It was like forcing a spring to become a slinky, he thought.
