  THE TEST
  
  
  
  
  
  The latest issue of Archeological Times held little interest for Mika. If it
  had been House Beautiful or Martha Stewart Living  it would have stood a
  better chance. In all the years he'd come to Dr. Brennan's office, there was
  never much of a reading selection. The torn off corner or redacted address
  label was the only clue that they were recycled from someone's home to the
  office. It was bad enough having to wait. Having to read dry, out-of-date
  magazines only made it worse.  
  The waiting room was uninteresting – spartan. Beige wallpaper, generic
  furniture, and too much light for such a small space. It felt more like a
  holding cell. The glass partition separating the receptionist completed the
  look.  
  Mika was in for a follow-up visit and his test results. He felt eyes on him
  but the only other person in the room was fiddling with his cell phone.
  Despite this fact, the feelings of being watched gripped him. He looked at the
  clock. The wait was unbearable.
