Smoke & Spite

#FlashTag @monologging I stormed out of the office. God knows I needed a minute. Lighting up in that wind took two.

#FlashTag @jkres14 My phone rang. My boss. I didn’t pick up. Next, he messaged me. “Get back upstairs,” he warned. “Now, or lose your job.”

#FlashTag @JemmaMarieBeggs I stamped out my half-smoked fag, seeing a dozen different faces in its place. With a hand on the door I paused.

#FlashTag @JennBlott Unconscionable demands. I expected the initial risk, but this? I exhaled all fear & walked into a world of no return.

#FlashTag @ModernAlice123 When the initial panic subsided, I began trying to figure out what I’d say to Pam, how I’d keep her from leaving.

#FlashTag @NairobiCollins Pam was the anchor, but the weight was on me. I had been sinking all along and she watched. Mutiny had just begun.

#FlashTag @jkres14 Everyone watched us breathing deeply. “I’ll meet you halfway,” my boss finally said. “I can’t let you make this mistake.”
