Shia Passage:
Shia looked from his monitor, rubbed his eyes, and stared down the dark hallway
toward the CFO’s office. He was certain a sound had come from behind the closed
door. It was a heavy thump, like someone had dropped a bowling ball.
There shouldn’t be anyone else here at this hour, Shia thought to himself as he
looked at his watch. The only illumination came from Shia’s computer monitor. His
office was on the thirtieth floor, far too high to get much more than a faint glow
from the streetlights below. Shia slowly stood up before reaching down to turn off
the computer screen, hoping to hide in the darkness. He considered turning on
his phone’s flashlight, but his thoughts were cut short by a loud crash followed by
the unmistakable tinkling of shattered glass.
Shia froze, as if he were caught by the gaze of Medusa. The initial doubt that he
would actually find someone snooping around the CFO’s office had turned to an
icy fear that gripped his lungs and would not let him breathe. His heart was
pounding loudly in his ears; he knew whoever was in his boss’s office must be able
to hear it.
Another crash, followed by a loud howl that he was sure couldn’t be human,
shocked Shia into motion. He broke into a run… in the opposite direction. He
sprinted for the emergency stairwell and rushed downward, jumping over the last
few steps of each flight. Shia didn’t stop running until he had burst through the
,2
ground floor exit to the parking garage and found his car. His heart continued
racing until he was at home in bed. He sent his boss a single text message before
turning over and trying to force himself to sleep: “I don’t think I can work late
anymore”.
