THE AMAZING RONALD MOORE
New York City is home to millions of people and hundreds of places, but one place almost everyone has been is The Museum of Important Artifacts. Although what’s inside brings people from far and near, most want to get a glimpse of Ronald Moore, the man who single-handedly secured half of the artifacts on display. When the world-renowned artifact collector isn’t on the hunt for his next extraordinary find, Ronald usually spends his time giving tours of the museum. The reaction people have as they fall all over themselves to ask him questions gives him a sense of accomplishment and inflates his already substantial ego.
As Ronald excitedly told a group of museum tourists about some of his most recent findings, his co-worker, Robert, interrupted him.

Robert assured him as if he could sense Ronald’s agitation. Head to his office. I’ll finish the tour.
Ronald placed his hand on Robert’s shoulder and nodded thankfully before making his way to his boss’ office.
He arrived at the dull grey room, decorated with scholastic plaques, certificates, and framed article clippings. The man responsible for the showcased successes was stationed behind a large mahogany desk, firmly planted in the middle of the room. Ronald took a seat, prepared for his typical interactions with the boss.
What do you need, Martin?
Ronald asked, paring his question with an annoyed sigh.
Martin Roche, the museum curator, and Ronald had a long-standing, if not sometimes strained, relationship.
You can start with showing me some respect,
Martin answered. After all, you work for me.
You know I mean no harm,
Ronald wore a playful grin to
