Copyright (c) 2015 Daniel Newhard The shadowy figure stood on the roof of the building, going over in his head the plan for this job. The central floors were entirely unoccupied, and so that would be his entry point. He grinned; this was going to be too easy. Tying a lifeline to himself and one of the water pipes snaking up the side of the building, he carefully lowered himself to the fourth floor balcony. He quickly pulled out a set of lock-picking tools and made short work of the pitiful lock on the door. Inside the building was an office, plain and rather dull. Cubicles split the room and made his line of sight short, but he knew where he was going. Walking swiftly, he navigated his way through the maze of bland, gray cubicle walls, …show more content…
Realizing this was a problem, he forced himself into action, gingerly picking up the mug and righting it. The flow of coffee ceased as he turned it upwards, and he was once more standing in silence, the crisis averted. Slowly the idea of what had just happened dawned on him, and he stood for a moment, deciding what to do. Experimentation was needed, just to confirm that he wasn 't losing his mind, so he turned the cup downwards again, once more causing a stream of the caffeinated liquid to flood from it 's interior. Righting the cup quickly, he had to once more tell himself that he was not dreaming, and to confirm this he took a short quaff from the cup, and was rewarded by a taste similar to what he could only describe as nothing short of perfection. Extremely cliché of a definition, the thought came to his mind, but true nonetheless. An idea dawned on him, and provided he was not hallucinating right now, it would be a better plan than robbing the office itself blind. Hastily picking up the mess of papers on the floor, he went back to the door, silently re-locked it, and made his way all the way down the building, coffee cup in hand.
None of his previous (and quite seedy) friends or employers saw him again after that night, as he had decided in the instant he had drunk from the mug that he would start a new life, one of wealth, near-limitless power, and delicious coffee. His new empire

What may have inspired Logic to write this song? Statistics overwhelmingly prove that suicidal thoughts aren’t as unusual as some presume true. According to the director of the lifeline, John Draper, the most dramatic spike in calls came through during the late hours following the 2016 election. An astounding 660 calls poured in during the early morning hours between 1-2 a.m. Other notable events include the suicide of a celebrity or even natural disasters.
Human beings can be push to their limits when certain situations cross their path. Sometimes they survive situations which should have killed them by luck or their own will to survive. I saw a movie called the Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie is bases on some of the story of Huge Glass a guide to trappers who was left for dead by his companions when he was mauled by a bear. Somehow he regain conscious after he was ditched by these men. Then underwent a journey to get to a nearby fort with some assistant of friendly Indians and the use of his knowledge on how to survive in the wildness. The name for the movie is the Revenant is what Huge Glass was called because of his survival. Which
Another tunnel leading off into a new direction would have came as no good news. Thankfully it wasn't. Eyeing the gate, he knew it not to be a passage of any kind but that of a former place of security. The vault, or at least what little remained of it. Its cramped insides empty. Not even a rat would dare cross the threshold, he thought glumly, thinking of the threats that had been made before. The place where the bodies of the bank employees and wealthy clients were brought. The killers would have likely preferred to have dumped them inside the vault itself, but the door had been locked and the key – from what little of the local gossip he'd heard, as that was more trustworthy than the newspaper articles – could not be found on any member of staff. Instead the attackers piled up their bodies before the gate, at the very cramped spot he now
“I can get them sent here right away.” Agent Fox pushed a series of buttons and a keyboard showed up in midair made up of a series of lights. Agent Fox types in the keys and clicks on the first link and a series of pictures float around the room. I am quick to realize it is my dad’s office and am horrified by what it looks like. The first picture I see is his trash can filled to the brim with jet black ash, smoke marks streak the side of the once polished metal desk. The next photo shows his lamp broken, with the shards of glass coating the floor, with blood mixed in some of the pieces.
The book I read for my Survival Literature Circle is the book “Survive” by Alex Morel. In the beginning of the book the main character, Jane is in an institution called “Life House”. Jane’s past is very sad, she had multiple family members commit suicide or as Jane would say “Hitting the Switch”. She had her father kill himself and on Christmas morning and her grandmother do the same. She calls them “Suicide Seekers”.
The short story “Orientation” by Daniel Orozco is exactly what the title suggests. An orientation of the new office job somebody has just received. However, the story delves much deeper into the lives of several employees at this office. Orozco’s employment of somber satire in “Orientation” displays how alienated a community can become in corporate environments. The way in which Orozco structured this story is very effective to the reader as well.
Eagerly Ellie gets up and heads downstairs, ready to begin the new day. Last night she noticed a coffeemaker on the counter and a cup of coffee sounded nice. Reaching into the cupboard, she pauses, surprised, the coffee isn’t there. She distinctly recalls putting the coffee in this cupboard! Ellie starts opening cupboards, looking for the coffee; none of her groceries are where she remembers putting them. It’s possible she could be wrong, she was really tired.
The receptionist normally situated at the front desk was absent at the moment. Wether she left or was simply on break I didn't have time to contemplate over. The ride to the fourth story was one of subtle unease. Such unease mounted into alarm when i saw the door was slightly ajar, lighting pouring out from the small gap of space.
In a smallish windowless office a nervous intern waits anxiously. His palms are sweaty and his knee won't stop shaking, He thinks about what he assumes this... what he knows this meeting must be about and he tries to relax. He looks around, thinks about pacing the room, thinks better of it, just like he has for the last 20 minutes. He keeps checking his retro flip phone for the time, only the time function works as well as calls but the inner screen broke so he can't play any games. He thinks about if they purposely face the chair away from the door just to make him more anxious.
There is nothing special about the building, just a typical, generic office atmosphere. Orozco used this as the setting to demonstrate that an individual never really knows who they are going to be working with when going in for an orientation. By using this stereotypical setting, Orozco is also able to shock the reader with the outrageous
He walked into her office and sat down on the couch on the right. The look her sitting area in her office was nothing less than impressive. There was a wide high back white leather chair at the head of a long thick SOS Entertainment engraved glass table with four comfortable standard white leather chairs on each side. She was on the phone and had waved to him to take a seat. Unfortunately, the more he heard what she was saying or to put it bluntly, the person she was saying it to had his anger rising to the point that the sprinkler system was about to go off.
Now, come with me.” W started to walk away, and I, not desiring to be left alone in an unfamiliar place, with unfamiliar people, and knowing almost nothing about the situation I was in, followed him. Besides, If I wanted to learn more, this person was the one who knew everything I needed to find out. I followed him down the halls, my bare feet padding on the wooden floor softly. After a series of turns, which I took note of, (Right, left, left, right) we came to a solid oaken door. Wammy drew a key from the pocket of his extremely fancy suit, the type of which I had only seen people who had a lot more money than I wearing. The door slowly opened, most likely due to its weight, without making a sound. That meant that the hinges were oiled, possibly new. Revealed beyond the door was a wide, open office filled with books, the centerpiece being a giant wooden desk with a lamp and papers on top. There was no nameplate, no indication of who this person truly was.
