Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
The hum of the desk lamp bathed the room in a soft, warm glow. Alberta's fingers danced over the keyboard, each tap a small, deliberate decision. The weight of expectation pressed down, a silent, persistent reminder of the stakes. What was the true purpose of a cover letter, Alberta wondered, beyond a mere formality in the job application process? For as long as Alberta could remember, cover letters had been a source of both dread and hope. Dread, because they required her to put her best foot forward, to present an idealized version of herself.
