Didn’t get much of anything done today aside from being pulled in every direction to fix problems here and there. Never feels like I accomplish much of days like this. The dreary weather I’m sure didn’t help. HTC had a little event today showing off their new flagship phone. I was far from impressed which is sad since I used to consider them at the top of the smartphone shops. I wish I had a super power that allowed me to curse someones vehicle. Every time I see someone being an unreasonable prick they will continue safely to their destination and their car will then suddenly break and never turn on again. Fuckers.

When the sun came up that morning Jeffery did not feel like sleeping. He paced slowly around the bedroom staring at his comfortable chair waiting for the urges to hit him but they never came. The sun now fully visible in the distance stared at him mockingly as eventually he gave up and went to the kitchen for some food. After a quick snatch-grab of some grub he kicked open the back door of his tiny home and ventured out into the bright light. The sun rays smashed into his skin and while it burned he continued on never looking back. It was the first time he had been out during the day in years and he was thrilled to feel the heat again on his flesh. The TV warned of the dangers during the day but he often looked out his window into the wee hours of the morning and never saw anything. He continued on towards a tree he used to play by when he was just a child spinning merrily as he did. As he reached it he plopped down in its shade and slowly wiped the sweat from his brow. He shot up suddenly, heart pounding. He had heard, and more frighteningly felt, a growl right behind him. As he looked back to find what made the noise and all he saw was the tree with its branches swaying gently in the breeze. He turned back shaking his head as the tree reached out and grabbed him.

Thursday is the last day of one of the greatest employees my company has. I wish her the best of luck in the move to becoming a full time mother but at the same time I know it is going to make my job much harder. I’m fairly certain her role at the company just involved making everyone’s lives easier. The higher ups believe her job can be split among three others that work with us, yea right.

As he opened his eyes all he could see was white. He looked at his arms and legs to try and get a baring but all it did was make him dizzy. “Hello!” he shouted. “You are not supposed to be here” said a female voice behind him. He swiveled towards the voice but nothing was there. “Who are you?” he asked. “That doesn’t matter, why are you here” demanded the voice again behind him and again not there. “I don’t even know where here is” he said as he looked around for anything. He felt a gentle tug on his shirt and slowly turned to see a small child looking up at him. He knelt down to look to look the child in the face. “You are not supposed to be here” said the voice again. The voice came from the child but her mouth did not budge. “Then how do I leave” asked Cole as he stood up and looked around again. “You don’t” said the voice this time coming from many directions at once.
