Life was hard when I was finishing up college. One night I was sitting and thinking of what I was going to do. Nothing made sense at that moment. I had not worked hard enough to get a job. I had low grades so I couldn't even dream of applying to grad school. I had little idea what I was going to do. At this moment in the dead of the night, my cellphone rang.
I was bewildered as to who would be calling at this time. I picked up the phone and a recruiter had just seen my profile on one of the job portals and was intent on hiring me. I was at a loss of words. He asked me to come in for an interview. After hanging up, I was confused and excited at the same time. Why would a recruiter call anyone at this time at night? Since my options were limited, I decided not to give it much thought and went for the interview the next day.
The interview went well and I liked the job profile. The office was good, the people were good and last but not the least, they were paying me well. They asked me to join as soon as I finished up college.
The last semester of college went smoothly. I did not study much and just relaxed a lot. The day came when I was to join my new job. I was very excited. Now I wouldn't have to ask for money from my parents.
First day at the job went smoothly except for one awkward moment. I didn't know what to make of it, but it happened so fast. I was in the washroom washing my face and when I looked up, there was nothing in the mirror. But as soon as I blinked my eyes, my face was up there again. I thought it must have been the work pressure after all these days of relaxing.
It didn't stop, I started seeing more awkward things. One day I was supposed to meet with this manager who was supposed to brief me on this new project. I went into his office and he was not there. I decided to wait in his office. I looked around and was surprised at all the small statuettes he had in his office. I picked one of them up and was stunned to see how life like it looked. At this moment, the manager stepped into the office. He took the statuette from my hand and broke it into half. Apparently he didn't like other people touching his things. I was unperturbed by this, but something was not right.
Things didn't get any better. I was seeing weird things everyday. One of my female colleagues was talking to me one day. We finished up speaking and she turned to go away. But I thought I saw her look back, and she had this bloodthirsty look in her eyes. I thought I was hallucinating and went my way.
A few days later I was at my desk when suddenly I noticed no one was at their desk right before lunchtime. The whole office was empty. I thought they might have gone out to eat together. But even the staff wasn't around. It was as if someone had died. I decided to carry on with my work when I felt something nudging against my back. I looked back.......
I suddenly woke up to see my roommate in college trying to wake me up to go to class.
