I’m a low-level employee at a shady recruitment agency. To boost his numbers, my boss forced me to livestream job listings in the middle of the night.
I thought I’d just drum up some viewers and humor my boss. But then I took a live call and connected with a strange little girl of unknown origins.
From that moment on, my livestream changed completely.

Client: Why do all your employees act so strangely and talk like they’ve stepped out of an ancient text?
I wiped the cold sweat from my brow. “Don’t ask. Let’s just say we specialize in diverse talent.”
