The Receptionist

There’s plenty of flesh on her finger, sagging, loose, folded , crumpled at the knuckle. The nail is peach, white at the tip manicured, manufactured; plastic. She reaches out towards a musty key. The greyish, flesh-coloured cube awaits her touch. She withdraws from her thrust, her finger folds away with the rest. Reassured, she begins again. Her fat stub hovering over the scrabble of letters With a satisfied click the key flattens into the board.
