Griffen is often in another world. He can't help it. When he gets to work everything fades into numbers. He was there right now. Lost in his work not even really reacting to anything but the energy that came from work.
He forgot about the burner behind him. And the fact his shirt wasn't tucked in. Oops.
He yelped and quickly got oit off before he actually got hurt and stomped it out. One of the other scientists working at the other end of the lab ran over and stared at the sight. He gave Griffen a small look of amusement.
"You know, Grif. You need to start paying attention more," the other man said.
Griffen rolls his eyes. "Yeah. I get that. I was just trying to work what went wrong with that test run on the new coolant."
He gives a blurry blink. "Why was that on anyways?"
The other man coughs. "Lunch."
Griffen pulls back and stares. Lunch? Seriously? What is wrong with people.
