Seeing as others are doing it, it thought I would write a little novelette to pass the time.
Darren arrived at his new job very early on Monday morning. He was only the post boy, and at only 17 that was understandable, but he had asirations of climbing to the top of the corporate ladder.
As he entered the building he was met by Gretel, a rather odd looking lady with blonde plaits and half rimmed glasses. She could only have been in her mid twenties but her conservative style of dress made her look older. Gretel showed Darren to the post room. "Your job is straight forward" She hissed at him. "You sort the post and place them in the appropriate trays. When the trays are full, you take the trolley to the departments. You can use the service elevator at the back."
It seemed straight forward so Darren got to work. Forty-five minutes later there was a commotion at the doorway. A very handsome man, about mid thirties with short blonde hair came crashing in. "You're late Jack" Chided Gretel. "I will dock your pay"
"Aww, sweety," Jack replied "I am sure I could more than make it up to you." And he gave her a wink, at which Gretel grimaced and turned away.
Darren introduced himself to Jack and they continued working. After just over an hour, the trays were full. "It's time you took the trolley up" smiled Jack and showed you the way to the elevator.
Darren stood patiently as the elevator slowly climbed. after a few floors the lift stopped and a dark haired man in a grey suit got in. He gave a cursory glance at Darren but said nothing.
Suddenly the lift stopped. Darren looked worried and gulped. "Don't worry," Said the other man. "It often stops, however we could be here a while". With that the man turned to Darren and said "Perhaps we could find something else to pass the time." And then he started to undo his belt.
To Be Continued....
