If Everyone Shouts, No One Is Heard.
Stale coffee. Concrete floors. Booths as far as the eye could see.
Every headline blurred into the same sentence.
All the booths said the same thing.

The lines are gone. A teenager with a laptop writes the same competent paragraph your agency keeps charging for.
Competent words.
Competent doesn't get remembered.
