Employee #12
An airline captain in his early sixties walks through an empty terminal as the airline where he spent 35 years has been replaced by a freight operation, surrounded by reminders of its former passengers, employees and traditions. His old service badge, memories of a life spent flying, a retirement-package message and a terminal corridor dividing toward Raleigh and Memphis bring his past, present and next chapter into sharp focus.

A 25-year-old, 150-pound man studies a gym leaderboard ranking members by bench press, dead lift and squat, where Terry dominates the numbers while the younger lifter sits around seventh or eighth.
