Elsie awoke to the sound of his alarm clock ringing.was it that time already?it felt as if he had just fallen asleep.he looked at the clock and groaned.7:30 it said with bold red numbers.he took a deep breath and threw off the covers.he wet to the bathroom relieved himself and took a quick shower feeling much happier after a steamy shower.he went back to his room and made he bed then went to his closet and looked at about 30 types of the same suit, it was always brown jacket with a white shirt and black tie followed by brown pants with a gold buckle on his belt he wore white socks and brown loafers. He got dressed and went for breakfast .he made himself his favorite morning meal, pancakes with maple syrup and bacon he whistled whilst he cooked his breakfast.after eating his meal he left his house and began his work,
------------------------------------
He arrived at a gloomy 17 story high building with grey paint and grey windows . He sighed, picked up his briefcase and headed inside. He saw Ragno talking to the receptionist and he immediately walked the other way, however it was a bit too late. He was noticed and Ragno was running after him.Elsie started speed walking to the elevator pressing all buttons. Just when he thought the coast was clear Ragno stuck his hand in between the elevator doors and opened it up.
"Well,hello hello hello hello, if it isn't Elsie Corkscrew" he flashed that cocky grin of his
"Greetings Ragno " he sighed
"Why the long face?What floor?"
"Your my boss Ragno , you know what floor" Elsie stared at the floor
"Indeed i am, i was just making sure you know what floor you're on" he winked and pressed the 16th button on the elevator and the doors began to close,great Elsie thought,just wonderful.
.
Ragno looked him up and down then began " why do you wear that suit"
"what? What suit? This?" he gestured up and down his body "this is my business suit you've seen me in it since the first day i arrived"
"That doesn't mean i like it," he paused " take off your jacket." he ordered
"What?"
"Jesus christ not like that," he rolled one his many beady red eyes "just do it!" he was getting impatient
"Okay fine!" he took off his jacket and folded it then placed it on his arm"there! Happy now?"
"....no not at all. Just let me be okay?"He took off Elsie's tie and undid the first two buttons of his shirt then took his jacket off his arm.
"Much better !" he said joyfully his smile beaming from ear to ear.
"I'm glad you enjoyed dressing up but can I please have it back? I've got work to attend to."
"Of course!" he snapped his fingers and summoned a flame burning his clothes"not!"
The elevator doors opened and Ragno pushed Elsie out the elevator.
"oh ! and one last thing, you must come in like this everyday or else you're fired" he smiled and saluted "later!"
Elsie sat down at his office desk and sighed. A lady came over and put piles amongst piles of paperwork on his desk making the desk partially crack from the pressure.
In a high pitched tone of voice she said " these are all the people who needs to be submitted, you have till nine to get all of this done or else you're fired,Ragno's orders"then she swiftly walked back to her desk.
He glanced at his watch,8:54. Shit.
