The sky would descend on them any moment. Of this he was certain. He was trying to warn the others, they were walking together in a group of four, but he didn't want to spook them. How to let them know that soon the sky would be down here, where...

By the time he walked into the menagerie of 10AM at the office, he was calm about everything. He knew he'd get out of this. He'd gotten himself into worse situations before. Plus now that he thought about it, his wife catching him  cheating wasn't the biggest of his worries.
