Harvey didn't mean it, it was an accident, he said he was sorry but no one believed him. Harvey worked in a factory producing gadgets, today he had accidentally made one wrong. It was the third time this week and he knew that he was going to get fired.

He looked towards the office upstairs, he knew that if he was called there he would never come back. His friend Matt came over to him "listen Harvey it will be alright, you can get another job, even with the economy your smart". Harvey couldn't believe that for some reason being fired sounded oddly like he was being sent to his death/

Harvey left the factory it was the end of his shit and he headed straight out without even bothering to take his work clothes on, if he was going to get fired it could wait till morning. As he opened the car door he heard foot steps, he looked down at the pavement and cold see a shadow heading towards him, of someone tall. The man grabbed his shoulder "Harvey George, the Manager wishes to see you, it can't wait".

The guard starred at him as Harvey tried to figure out what to do, he knew that this was it his wife and two children would go hungry because of his mistake "look I'm sorry just tell him that, it was a mistake". The security guard didn't seem to react to this "you are wanted in his office, now move before I have to force you". Another guard equally as frightening joined them and they headed into the building and climbed the stairs. Harvey took one last look back at the factory and spotted his friend Matt again just heading out the Door.

The office was long and very nice, the walls were panelled with Dark brown wood and the room had a nice warm feel to it. Harvey had never been in this room, not since the new manager had arrived 8 months ago. The manager however was no where to be seen, the two guards blocked the door so there was no way out, unless of course jumping from the window was a option.

Harvey looked to his left and there was a huge metal door fixed into the wall. It was like no door he had ever seen, it was circular and was a shiny silver. The Door slide open and the manager walked in, He looked at Harvey and smiled. The smile wasn't to reassure him, it was a smile that Told Harvey that Mr Dalton was going to enjoy punishing him.

Mr Dalton was quite a small man with a short white beard. He was dressed in a fancy purple suit looking like he had just came out of a washing machine. Harvey couldn't help but noticed the big scar on his left cheek and wondered whether that was the reason he stayed out of sight.

Mr Dalton sat down at his desk starring at Harvey

" do you know why you were summoned" He asked calmly

Harvey began to panic "look I'm sorry, my hand just slipped I'm really sorry, please I have a family"

"I asked you WHY YOU WERE SUMMONED!"

Harvey stepped back " I messed up sir, I didn't perform well.. I, I failed you".

"Harvey do you know how important it is that this factory creates its product, do you have any idea?" there was a pause while Harvey wondered what to say " I take it you don't know, The answer is deadly, its deadly important that you get the job done.

Mr Dalton stood up and walked past his desk and stood directly in front of it looking at Harvey.

"Harvey, when I was a little boy my parents told me there was some god looking over us, she was wrong of course, there is no such god" Mr Dalton said doing something with his left hand "there are things out there that would make a grown man wet himself Harvey, things your tiny brain couldn't imagine, things so great and powerful, some people may say they are goods. Well in truth there more like the devil, they are more like the devil".

"I'm not sure what you mean sir" Harvey said trying to sound calm.

Mr Dalton smiled "I'm not your boss, I don't run this factory, neither does the company, there is no company, there is only them"

"who?" Harvey asked.

Mr Dalton smiled "that you will never find out"

Outside the silence was broken by a piercing scream that escaped from the factory and filled the industrial estate, there was no one around that could help him and there was no one around who would even care.
