Excerpt
Autumn Falls
Rebecca put her purse inside the filing cabinet and looked at her To Do list to determine the priorities of each task. For the past three years, every work day started the same: evaluating the projects her boss assigned to her.
She bent over her desk, and while still standing, she wrote a number beside each item. Quickly looking it over again, she pinned the paper to the cork board on the wall next to her slanted, artists desk, and pulled the requisite file from the pile on top of the tan, metal filing cabinet.
Grabbing her mug, she walked to the office kitchen and looked at the variety of teas and coffees the company provides for their employees. She pulled a tea bag from the Earl Grey box and poured hot water from the carafe sitting on a hot plate. Taking it back to her desk, she put the mug on the shelf next to her, sat on her stool, and made sketches for a story-board the agency needed to sell the television advertisement to the client.
She heard the muted beep, letting her know of an incoming email. Lifting her pencil off the paper, she thought whether she should look now, or keep sketching until she got her idea drawn. As Rebecca started drawing again, she knew she needed to look at the email, or she would never get it out of her mind. She twisted around on the padded stool, leaned over and tapped the computer’s keyboard to display the message.
After taking a couple of sips from her tea, she headed over to her bosses office to see what he wanted. Before she sat in one of the chairs in front of Ron, Rebecca carefully set her mug on a coaster to prevent marring the beautiful, glazed-mahogany desk.
“You wanted to see me?”
“Ah, yes. This shouldn’t take long, but I’m afraid it’s not good news. We’re having some financial problems and I need to lay you off. It’s a company-wide reduction in force.”
“No pleasantries? You just get right to it, don’t you?
