Part one: Turn of events

As he sat at his desk, blankly staring at an empty computer screen, he began to notice certain things about his surroundings. The hum of the servers, the shuffling of papers by the nearby receptionist, even the low rumble of the presses in the distant back. He glanced at the job tickets sitting on his desk and felt even less motivation now then when he had started on them. The first job he was still waiting on files. The second job was a 5 cd set that took the majority of yesterday afternoon to upload to the system. Just about shot his attention span by an hour. As he finished up the last one he noticed that when he concentrated, the noises of the room dissapear.

But something was different.

He was done and there were no noises. No voices, no server hum...

Nothing.

As he glanced up from his computer he noticed that we was completely alone. Starting to get a little weired out he started calling his coworkers by name. His voice sounded like it was in a cavern. As it echoed in the room he noticed several things that were wrong. The blinking lights on the server had stopped but where still on, his computer screen was on but there was no sound coming from the hard drive. I was so quite he could hear himself breathe. As he started walking around he noticed that all was like this. He went to the back and saw all presses had stopped in mid impression. Everybody was gone. It was like no one had been there ever before and all was automatied and had just stopped. But there was something else. Something really wrong. As he neared the door to the outside of the building he noticed a bright white streaming from the cracks around the outside of the door. Touching the knob he felt it was very warm and almost hot.

D! Just go back and do your job man. Curiousity only gets people in trouble. Or...if you're scared, go hide under your desk and pull the chair in as far as you can, so people can't see you.
