I just got into work and no one's here

[FuSoYa]

But all the lights are on, and people's computers too. The phones haven't been forwarded and there's every indication that something serious went down...

 

[xfer]

Dude, did you ever read "The Langoliers"?!

 

[The Dope]

For your own safety, you should leave.

 

[The Dope]

The Lagoliers became such a disappointingly horrible movie.

 

[xfer]

I actually am working on a short story-novella in which the world wakes up one morning to discover that the entire population of Germany has vanished without a trace.

 

[xfer]

I didn't see the movie, but I thought the story was pretty cool. I have a lot of written image memories from Stephen King, and one of them is the guy swinging the toaster-in-a-blanket weapon and connecting with the villain's nose, bursting it like a tomato.

 

[The Dope]

You probably shouldn't watch the movie. It would only ruin the story for you with its sub-par acting and cheesy, cheap-o visual effects.

 

[Josh Seipp]

horrible movie, awesome story

 

[FuSoYa]

I've been sitting here for 17 minutes and am thus far OK.

 

[deadair]

alex, i can't wait for you to finish that.

 

[Josh Seipp]

try lighting a match

 

[FuSoYa]

Also I had to answer the phone, and the door too, to get the mail! I mean, what were they going to do if I wasn't here?

Also if my boss calls and asks where everyone is, I'll have to tell him I don't know, and admit that I just came into work at noon.

 

[xfer]

Yeah, I'll probably throw it on the pile of other unfinished projects at some point. It's a nice thought, though.

 

[TheNewChupe]

update?

 

[xfer]

At 12:10 PM, someone else entered the office, and found...

nobody there.

 

[ImNoHippy]

Ha ha, Balki ripping magazines all strung out....
