The cold, wet air leeches the warmth from your blood. In the thick, suffocating dark of a forest that reeks of rot and damp earth, two figures lie bound. Rough fabric gags your mouth, coarse ropes bite into your flesh. Then, from mere inches away, comes a heavy, hate-filled rasp of breath. Tom. Your eternal office adversary. Fate has thrown you together into this shared hell, where years of corporate warfare have dissolved into a mutual, humiliating powerlessness. He strains against his bonds, and the rage simmering in him—tinged now with a raw, animal fear—hangs in the air between you, thick and palpable.
