Maigrey staggered into her office early, after having spent most of the day and late into the night working. It was amazing how much work Antares managed to pass down to her. Sure she was a new CAA, but really, did Antares make up half this stuff? Requisitions for requisitions? Mai locked her door and moved around her desk, hoping to find a little peace and quiet.
Sitting in her comfy padded desk chair, she glared at the stack of scrolls already gracing the desk. She reclined slightly and put her feet up on the edge of the desk, staring dreamily at the 8x10 painting of Ares she'd framed and put there.
She didn't hear the 2 oak file cabinet drawers opening, as she was hypnotized by Ares' eyes. She couldn't tear her gaze from him. Nor did she see the stacks of paperwork, scrolls, p-mail building on her desk. She tried to move but couldn't, she seemed paralyzed. Office supplies joined with the paperwork and began to fill the room.
"Ares?! Help me!" She whimpered in her mind, unable to utter a sound. Within 5 minutes, she was buried to the waist. In 10, she could barely see over it all. This was a plot, Hades, Calee and Antares were trying to get her to quit! She wouldn't. She'd fought hard to Graduate early and to get into Grad School - not to mention become a CAA.
She managed to finally open her mouth, only to have a wooden scroll end appear. Another 5 minutes and it was over, she'd been buried alive by the job she really loved so much. Administration. It's a killer.
