Another story written for 100 Words Or Les Nessman, this time challenged by a theme of a picture of a stone. Obviously, I had trouble sticking to the theme, but I imagined someone sitting on the rock and being as uncomfortable as the chairs at work, so...
I work in a call center and the company owner is really cheap.Of all the awful things here, the chairs here are the worst. They are old, worn-out, and cause frequent painful injuries.
One guy was speared with a spring and lost a kidney. Another broke a wrist and an ankle when a wheel just completely let go. A third rolled out of a window, never to be seen again.
Bob got it the worst. One day, he's typing away, and we hear a loud CRACK!
He's in a wheelchair now. Can't feel anything below his neck.
Lucky bastard.
Inspired by the chairs at work.
