Slow Death
When your boss catches you saying something that you really didn't want him to hear you saying, and then he confronts you, there is no escape. It's a slow death. It's the kind of death where you just want to crawl into a hole and pretend that it never will happen. This short excerpt from my book, "The Imagination Stone" will take you to that place of no return. Please enjoy!
Book Excerpt
The Imagination Stone

Donald slowly sank back into his seat. “I don’t really remember what I was saying, Corbet.” he stammered. “I am passionate about my job though. I cancelled a dinner with my wife and her parents to be here. This job means the world to me, Corbet. You know that, right?”
“Passion, yes,” Corbet said thoughtfully, but there was something about, I believe, obsessive behavior. Is that what I heard? Did I actually hear that correctly?” Corbet asked in a deadpan voice.
