INTO THE VORTEX [EXCERPT]

I.
Ren McFarlan shifted the papers on his desk. He sat back in his chair and, unsatisfied, moved the papers back to their original position. He did this two more times before taking the papers and throwing them in the rubbish bin. Still unhappy, he called his secretary, Gina.
“Gina, I’d like you to shred these,” he said.
She left his office with the papers. McFarlan heard the sound of paper shredding in the next room. When it was finished, he opened a document on his 15” MacBook, selected “print,” and watched the pages cascade out of his laserjet printer, recreating the pile of papers he’d just destroyed.
