Chapter 277: Awaken (1)

The sounds of tapping keyboards filled his ears as he stared blankly into the monitor sitting in front of him. A spreadsheet which he had been working on for seemingly months, taunted him with its broken formulas and corrupted data sets.

Ken sat at his computer feeling his soul get sucked dry by the boring office job he'd been employed at for over 2 years. 4 years of university wasted on a median paying role within a consumer goods company.

His head was pounding as he tried to fix whatever mess the bosses had made while last using his spreadsheet. Out of habit, he rubbed his right shoulder trying to sooth the pain.
