Evacuate

In a meeting recently, there were two sides. On one, nine adults (or more). On the other, was me. Alone.

I was easily five years younger than the youngest chap from their side and clearly looked upon by them as this foreign kid from a foreign background with foreign ideas. After presenting and responding to questions, I got what I was there for. Not quite nervous, I was beginning to be curious about how this was going to end.

We ended up shaking hands at the doorstep outside, as everyone in the whole building were assembling at the front due to a fire that triggered the alarm.
