Chapter 1
It was Thursday. Ethan sprinted into the office gulping the unexpected silence; he had been occasionally late before but never this late. He was two and a half hour late. His boss Mr. Lark lectured him for another hour or so he thought. It took him 3 hours to take hold of his office again...
At evening, (almost night) Ethan had to stay late to complete the pending work. There was a knock on the door. Ethan was so engrossed in the files he had to complete that he ignored the knock. The person also didn’t wait for an answer, he walked in. Ethan didn’t bother to look up. It certainly wasn’t Lark for he wouldn’t have bothered to knock.
“Good evening Ethan, had a good day?”
It was Alfred Makhaw, Ethan’s colleague.
“Yeah surely...” Ethan said full of sarcasm.
“First of all I got up late... damn the alarm clock...to make matter worse my wife fell ill, I had to cook for myself...and on top of it the gas was over... can you believe it...?
The question hung in the air. Alfred didn’t bother to answer.
“And then...” he urged Ethan.
“Well I got my car punctured and to add too it the thrice dammed car started acting weird...had to leave it at the mechanic... I caught a bus, just imagine the bus broke down it never usually happens but it happened today of all days....”
“I took a taxi but to hell with it some idiot met with an accident jammed the whole traffic...”
“Well I had to walk all the way to office and then the lift wasn’t working I had to climb all the 6 floors... and you know what the icing on the cake was I had to hear Larky’s Perfect Punctuality speech for ages.....”
“If you would call t a good day then yeah I had one...”Ethan sighed.
“Yeah I would at least you reached the office...”
Ethan stopped in his track. The file that was working as a barrier between them fell and he saw his friend. Ethan saw his friend’s blood covered face, see through body. Ethan fainted at the very sight.
