The Meeting With One Silent Voice

'Have to re-think yesterday's Meeting With No Voices, based on the reaction that's come about since.

There was A Voice. One Voice. Silent.

This meeting of 5 veeps had one vp sitting at a slight angle, working at his laptop all the while. Pointedly working - and not talking.

- and not talking: he had not called this meeting, he did not agree with the entire point of this meeting, he has the ear of the (absent) prez -

- and he wasn't talking.

And the other veeps listened to his silence, even the vp who had called the meeting thinking that it was something "for all of us to decide." He understood his mistake almost from the beginning, but he had to play it out.

Or, rather, stay silent like the others let the subordinate moi walk through the agenda, saying the words that no one would respond to and recording the decisions that no one would give voice to so that today the prez could talk to the Silent Working Veep and make his decision as if yesterday had never happened.
