I got inspired to write a short scene of life in the corporate world. Hopefully its not too bad of a read. I just whipped it up before I went to bed. Maybe I will polish it up. But I wrote it as a TV or Movie script rather than a short story. So that would explain the format. Enjoy.
EXT. OFFICE BUILDING – DAY
Outside the weather is a sunny bright day with the refection of the sun blinding you as you look up at the windows.
INT. CUBICLE – DAY
JON is at his desk typing away at his computer as he receives and email from RYAN. JON opens the email and reads it.
RYAN (O.C.)
JON, can you please send and email to STAN so we can begin readying the system changes. Signed, RYAN.
JON opens a new email that will be delivered to STAN, and CCs RYAN.
JON (V.O.)
STAN, can you please send an email to open a ticket so the system changes we need to implement can begin the process. We need you to start the process. Thanks, JON.
INT. CUBICLE – DAY – 5 MINUTES LATER
JON is at his desk typing away as his computer as he receives another email from RYAN. JON opens the email and reads it.
