A Year In Seattle Week Seventeen Thursday, October 12th, 2056 – Hazards of the job It wasn’t until I’d reported for duty that I realized I hadn’t heard anything on the Philips’ case, or on my evil twin for that matter. I gave Andrews a call but got his voice mail. Curiouser, when I reviewed […]

A Year in Seattle – Week 16 – Life in Simulation
