Phase

By James West

Alison Reilly works as a legal secretary by day, but she spends her nights banging away on her beautiful blue drum set.

Office politics and ill-advised romances rule the halls at worksomething Alison steers clear of until the firm hires Joan Stevens as a secretary.

Joan is the most intense, most self-confident, and most brash woman whos ever worked at the firm. Shes also a stunning beauty that everyone in the office, including Alison, cant help admiring.

When Joan goes out on a date with an office services clerk, George Kerns, she returns refusing to talk about the dateand she wont even read the lyrics to a song that George left her.

But Allison does read the song, and shes impressed by its clever lyrics. Soon, shes jamming on the drums with George, but their beautiful co-worker continues to invade their minds.

Personal and private worlds collide, and Alison, Joan, and George edge toward a dramatic conclusion in Phase.
