5:30 pm came and everyone’s gone into thin air.
My dear colleagues walked past me,
One even returned me my money.
They saw me pack my stuff in a hurry, so I assumed they knew I needed the bus.
Then I realized my storeman's on leave.
Staring at the alarm plus lock in my hands
Define panic.
Which button to activate?
Activating the wrong one may cause the alarm to go off and induced a call straight to the bosses.
I was the last to leave office..
Had to lock up the place, alarmed it properly, returned the key and then rush for the bus.
The whole process took 5 minutes of half strutting and hush running in heels.
Then I rushed to where the bus would stop,
The usual spot.
The lot has never been emptier than ever.
What wicked assumption.
Stranded.
