When I woke up this morning I had no idea of the horrors that awaited me. I began my work day as usual, sitting at my desk playing a Facebook game, happy as can be.
Suddenly, a car pulled up to the door. I initially paid it no mind but it idled there for a long time so I eventually glanced up...
And there she was. Staring at me. Her eyes empty pits of despair. I was startled but I assumed she was waiting for someone so I went back to my "work."
...I'm not sure what made me look up...
Like some ghostly apparition she appeared standing just outside the door, still staring at me. Frozen in fear, I could not help but look back at her, feeling myself falling further and further into those sorcerer's pinwheels in her face.
Finally I managed to tear my soul back from the wretched thing. But I couldn't very well leave her out in the cold. I invited her into the lobby to wait for whoever it was that she was here to see. There are two couches in the lobby and abundant floor space. Where did she chose to stand? Right in front of me. Staring. Staring. Forever. And I couldn't help but hear the whispered words of Edgar Allen Poe's prophetic masterpiece:
"Nevermore..."
