The cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest. Or maybe it was working overtime for days on end. Or maybe it was that bag of spicy strips someone at the desk across from him had thrown over.
After death, he joins a gray line of people, all moving forward. Only he stops.
Someone has written a line on the back of his employee ID: Do you think you’re dead?
He really is dead. But he decides to skip work.
This is the story of an office drone who keeps going in circles and turning back in the afterlife. No golden finger, no leveling up by fighting monsters. Just one person, one building, and everyone trapped inside, waiting for someone to call them by name.
