Ha! Funny, that was my intial idea for the plot! However, after a little trial and error, I realized if the story took that direction, there would be WAY too many things to cover, thereby exceeding the contest's 1000 word limit.
Plus, I thought it would've been a tad bit cliche :)
And lol😂, if that's how you really went into work then, I guess my job is done then :)
