Five-Minute fiction - 23:50-23:55
Cresa keyed the door open with the press of a button and strode into the immense conference room. It was much larger than he had expected, especially in a locale were space was precious. A large table dominated much of the room, and around it were twenty or so people in variety of ethnicities, genders, and ages. Cresa knew most of them on sight, or at least knew the names of those supposedly in attendance.
Only a single chair at the table was empty. A lone sentinel furtherest from the door at the foot of the table. Normally, Cresa, would have disliked being made to walk past the prying eyes of so many people, but as he was the one with the material everyone wanted he enjoyed the walking the distance, it gave him the chance to revel in their envy.
