Clara ripped the blueprints from the printer, the paper tearing unevenly. She crumbled the sheets in her fist. The air in the lab, normally filled with the scent of soldering fumes, seemed stale and oppressive. She walked to the window and stared out, the image of the other company’s patent flashing in her mind. Her shoulders slumped. The light outside was fading. She closed her eyes, and a muscle ticked in her jaw. The design, the perfect execution, all of it. A waste. She let the ruined blueprints drop to the floor.
