Line, Hot, Shut


“Shut the door.”

No worker, ever, has wanted their boss to utter that sentence; the news that will soon follow is never good.

Mike gulped and shut the door. He stood nervously just inside the room, his hands unconsciously guarding his groin.

“Sit down, Mike.”

No worker ever wants to be in the boss’ office long. An invitation to sit is really bad.

“Want some coffee? It’s hot.”

No worker ever wants… actually - a hot beverage sounds good…

“Mike, Assembly Line 3 needs a guiding hand. I want you to do it.”

A promotion?

“Now, this isn’t a promotion.”

Figures.
