Merryweather

A short standalone story I wrote, about a young boy named James and his friend Kris. 2500 words, meant to be a quick read.

Cejay Merryweather has resigned to be the marketing head of Huntington Inc. because of an incident that happened causing havoc in the internal auditing department. Sebastian Huntington, a charismatic, egocentric, and ruthless businessman has offered her to be his personal assistant. Little did she know, upon agreeing to his offer, her life would be in danger once she starts deciphering her boss's secret. A secret no one should know but Cejay, with her curiosity got the best of her, will be the first one to find out. That is why curiosity kills the cat. Would you still dare to know Mr. Huntington's Secret?

Life is not always fair but one thing that can be said for certain is that it can be monotonous. For corporate people, things can’t be more true. Working with their sanity on balance and mental health up their sleeves 6 days a week. To escape the repetitive torture, drinking gallons of alcohol on weekends to slow time in hope that the phenomenon “Ah fuck! it's Monday again,” never takes place. However, drinking gallons of alcohol comes bearing gifts such as nausea, headaches, puking in the alley, and Ah everyone’s favorite. The blackout; it's the trial of what serenity feels like. It’s a time machine that takes you ahead in time (depending on the amount you drink, the mileage may vary). It’s the medium that produces the best candid shots. It makes memorable memories that you won't remember, but your friends will. A similar incident happened with Iris When her responsible friends left her at a STRANGER’s house, intoxicated; fully blacked out. This is the story of Iris Merryweather a very diligent hardworking engineer and how she avoided a potential murder from the likes of her neighbor.
