Shine tip-toed carefully past Joseph’s office door. He could hear papers being shuffled and peevish grumblings followed by very imaginative cursing could be heard all the way down the hall.

Every year Joseph promised himself that he would have all this stuff together early, and every year he waited to the last week. First thing tomorrow Shine would rush all the files to the account who would charge him extra for the rush.

Shine winced. He had to agree with Joseph in this case. It was so unfair. Joseph had cheated death, but why couldn’t he cheat The Tax Man?
