Thaddeus squeezed his eyes shut, stretching and shifting in his chair. It was late afternoon, and he had managed to work through most of the large stack of papers. He took another sip of the coffee his secretary had brought him earlier and grimaced. It was cold, and left a strange aftertaste in his mouth. He'd have to ask her what she put in it.

He stood and picked up his briefcase, ready to go home after a day's work. He reminded himself that he needed to pick up some milk and eggs; he was all out. As he was entering the elevator, he bumped into a small woman, causing her to fall and sending the stack of papers in her arms flying everywhere. As she scrambled to retrieve the documents, Thaddeus reflexively bent down and began to help her, feeling irritated at having to miss the elevator.

This woman ran into me. Could she not see that I was busy? She had better apologize, and thank me for helping her.

He handed the papers to her, offering her a smile. As the office lady stuttered out a thanks, Thaddeus grew even more annoyed at the woman, but continued to hide it behind his smile. After helping her up, he waved away her apologies and wished her a nice weekend, all the while wishing misfortunes upon her.


Thaddeus unlocked the door of his apartment, shutting it behind him. After putting the groceries away, he changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt, and planted himself in front of the television. As he sat there watching some documentary on sharks, he suddenly felt nauseous. Hurrying to the bathroom, he barely made it before emptying the contents of his stomach, which was thankfully mostly devoid of food. As he dry-heaved, he felt a major headache setting in, along with a burning fever.

W-What's happening? Am I...... Going to die?

Suddenly panicked, Thaddeus fumbled for his phone, only to find it nowhere in sight.

Shoot! It must be in my jacket pocket...

He stood up, only to collapse from a bout of dizziness.

I.... Have to......

Overwhelmed by the raging fever, his thoughts grew more and more disoriented, until he succumbed to the inky darkness of unconsciousness.
