vl_redreignPrompt: Tis The Season
Ted stepped into Cynthia’s office and closed the door.
“Okay, what?”
“I just…huh?”
“You look…scared.”
“I am. And you should be, too.”
“I’ll bite. Why?”
“Brian called, he’s on his way…from the airport.”
“So…
oh.”
“Yeah. I’m going to warn the art department.”
“Good idea.” She grabbed her coat.
“Where are you going? “
“To purchase a stay of execution.”
Brian slammed the door to his office, tossed his coat on the sofa, then yanked the door open again to yell at…someone. He was greeted by Cynthia, holding a grande quadruple shot mocha. The cup read, ’Tis the season’.
“Thanks, Cynthia.”
