Colin.
A really boring name if I’m honest. When he was assigned as my boss I was certain my eyes almost rolled into the back of my head.
Although he was around 6 foot tall, he seemed to shrink around other people, as if incredibly shy. Not boss material.
I always work late, after all if someone as boring as Colin was about there was no guarantee how quickly the place might go to shit.
“You-you still here?” Someone asked.
I peered over the office wall and sure enough, there was Colin, scrunched up as always.
“Yep. First one here. Last to leave. Shocking they’d send anyone else higher up than me if I’m honest.” I clicked, before sinking back into my desk.
Suddenly, I felt hands curl around my hair.
“What the-”
My chair was turned forcefully to face him. His hands were still locked in my blonde curls and I felt my heart thudding against my chest.
Everything about him suddenly seemed so… Different. He stood tall, his expression almost demonic as his eyes pierced me. His fist tightened into my hair and I squeezed my legs together involuntarily, scared of what might come out.
