    Summary

    You shouldn't have come to this stupid party. Any time outside of work that was spent in the office building was a waste. Especially when he was there, stealing the show, as he always did.

    You wondered how long he practiced that Hollywood laugh of his. It couldn't be real. You knew it wasn't.

    After all, when were any of your coworker's words ever more than an act?

    Summary

    So. You died.

    It's not a shock or anything. It's not even the first time it's happened during this interview. It is the first time, though-

     

    it's gotten so cold. so cold. so cold. everything around you has frosted over except the searing heat of legs and hands pinning you down, the pain and dizziness and the way it starts to fade away

     

    his face. blank. eyes wide. certain. determined. ruthless. utterly captivating. god help you.

     

    -that you died like that.

    Summary

    The protagonist really wonders when and how he'd started getting attached to his pompous coworker, of all people.

    You might ask: how did this absurd situation come about, when your coworker wouldn’t even lend you a light — when you saw you as beneath the soles of his shining shoes, his sterling position? Look at your senior. How he glitters in the dim like a miniature sun — a star that’s starved its neighboring galaxies of light to feed its fire.

    (Perhaps you’re just an infinitesimal gnat whining in his ear. Maybe he’ll even give you the time of day… once you’ve gotten a little higher on the corporate ladder, that is. Using the proverbial corpses of cut losses as footholds for the meager chance of a raise.)
