‘Maybe I’ll die here.’
Would anyone even notice if she did? Her boss would probably notice first, if only to mark her as negligent of her duties. He was always like that, Sazume was half certain that he just enjoyed it really, making people squirm. Perhaps her parents would notice after that, her dad always made sure to call once a month. Most months anyway. Her mom might put in a missing person report, eventually.
Sazume leaned back in her chair, her gaze not straying from the window. That tower was still there, despite everything else in the skyline having changed, that black tower lingered. It was just as out of place here as it had been when she had seen it through the office window. It was too smooth, perhaps, like a fine edge of a beautiful blade, or maybe just too tall as it reached out to scrape the blue sky above.
She wanted to go there, it nagged at her that she needed to find her way to that spire. It was wrong but was that any worse than a skyline changing in the blink of an eye? Sazume pulled her gaze from the window and to the empty room she found herself within. It was office space of some kind, a neatly furnished meeting room with a long central table and cupboards lining the walls. It was generically what it was, but it most certainly wasn’t anywhere that she knew. The wrong sort of table, a slightly too upscale chair, little things that her office building would never have even if they had just dumped her into a room after she passed out.
Poking through the cabinets didn’t offer her much of interest, unless you had interest in pens and paper, other than the one by rhe sink that had a coffee maker. That was a touch of good news, wasn’t it? Still, Sazume hadn’t long to celebrate her findings when her ears prickled at a sound that hadn’t been there a moment prior.
