    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    HAMLET.EXE: //3 for broken//

    (And maybe he was broken long before the code split. Long before Elsinore.exe corrupted itself. Before Claudius installed himself in the throne room like malware. Before Gertrude clicked “yes” on an update she did not understand. Before Ophelia.exe was a dream dissolving in water.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Weird, disquieting and in script format, what else can you wish for?
    It's hard to have such "abstract" fics work, yet this one manages extremely well.

    Summary

    It’d been worse when they reached the clearing, though. When he’d seen the pillar standing proud in the centre of the green circle; rough stone, ancient and softened with lichen and moss. It had seemed almost organic, like it had grown from the dark earth. A heavy presence hung around it, reminding Martin oddly of church. So much emotion bled into the stone, ingrained in the grit of it. So much fear.

    Every half-century, the good people of Hope must give one of their own away to the monster that dwells in the ancient woods bordering their village. This time, it's Martin's turn.
