The glass sculptures looked like memories pressed in time. Their stationary existence clicked in Lisa’s mind. Frozen in place, her multi-million-dollar display of rare glass pieces relaxed and recharged dually.
In time, she would consider this new deal. Even with billions of dollars, she’d stay in Delaware. Not out of a sense of duty, but respect for the powers of her own mind did she advance. Her initial reluctance had stung her. Lisa considered the way for her to succeed was with as little effort as possible.
She loved to work, to toil. The problem hanging in the fringes of a solution always enriched her fertile mind. But she never over did it. That, she figured, made her spirit burn bright in her mind.
The fact she never did too much and still managed to never be lazy represented something far greater than anything she had done in the past. This deal brought to the fore a challenge and an opportunity; she could become the billionaire she always strived to be.
Once she figured all of this out, she plotted how to throw the money in all her other hustles. It became a sport. She could work and allow it to seem like she didn’t do anything at all. In the hands of some other individuals her age, they had trapped themselves in the ever spinning wheel with sparks.
Those sparks resulted from overworking and burnout. Why she chose to be a businesswoman not unlike Loreen seemed purposeful.
She continued to look at her glass showcase.
The sparkles of light reflecting from them allowed her to breathe. A steady inhale, exhale exercise provided her the means to foster mental health.
Lisa then walked away from the glass. It appeared too precious, now. All of the figurines held an exact nature.

One of the learned machines malfunctioned. It sort of jittered about, almost like an awkward dance, before it hit the floor. The engineers and technicians all looked at their devices and made earnest efforts to get it functional again. Streamlined, the machine looked like it had just come off of the assembly line…which it did. It had in it the capacity to fail, however. That’s what the folks at SuperSynths focused on in their endeavors. From the gleaming silver streak that graced each machine, to the polish on the components, each one represented an individual piece of Bellinda Gummer’s mind. She sat at her desk, watching the run of this latest creation. She wore an all white suit with creases in just the right places. Gold rings and a thin necklace with a diamond pendant lay in a neat way on her chest.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
