No, no, no. Oh shit! I’m in trouble!
Today of all days to miss the bus, with a special arrival due. The boss made it plain; there were to be no stuff ups!
“They’ve been through enough, Fred,” he’d said in that deeply melodic voice. “They deserve quick processing; tender loving care. Don’t let me down!”
And, there. Already at the top of the escalator. Nobody to greet them. There’ll be questions; uncertainty. Have they arrived? Is this it? Do they belong?
The unfathomable guilt they carry. They survived. Have they suffered enough?
HE will kill me!

Let’s hope God watches this! He might change his business model to something more…Godlike?

Some quick thinking needed on Fred’s part if he’s going to ever get the chance to fill in again.

What an intriguing question you pose. How does The Boss treat people who stuff-up? I daresay He’ll be very disappointed and the hapless Fred will feel every ounce of that sadness.

A tender bureaucrat, the boss. Efficient processing with a smile
