ZARAH~
Tuesday 19 February 2025, also known as the first day Micheal missed work without an explanation. Every creak of the door made my head swing in its direction hoping it would be him walking in but alas I was always met with the face of one of my coworkers or the interns. Time moved slowly, dragging out the agonizing day as if to punish me for the way I had reacted, I felt guilty for his absence, and putting myself in his shoes I could see how that could've really ruined someone's day.
I didn't realize how important of a role he played in helping me get through the day but with his sudden absence, it felt like I was drowning in boredom as I waited for time to pass.
I turned my head to the clock, 30 minutes left till I could finally leave this place, I turned my head to his closed office and replayed the scene in my head.
