Chapter 1
“What a slow day.” I thought to myself while staring at the clouds. I had decided to take a “smoke” break outside, despite not smoking, a tip I had picked up from my former manager before taking his place after he left the company. I didn’t really need a break as my job was
mainly supervising and correcting the mistakes of my team. I had picked well during the hiring process, and they rarely needed my supervision and so I had a lot of free time to waste during the day.
On this particular Tuesday I sat in a park area built by the company as an area for staff to come and de-stress, though it had come to be known as the smokers hangout. Either way it was quite a lovely place to pass the time, especially when the flower bushes were in full bloom, although that hardly mattered given it was November. I preferred the cloudy days to the sunny days anyways, and the cold kept most of the staff inside, well mostly.
