It was the beginning of summer, and life had been steadily spiraling downward for the unfortunate Lucas. Just recently, he learned that his girlfriend of over four years had been cheating on him for around half of their relationship. To make matters worse, the cruel monster that has been doing this to him with her is none other than his very boss. Lucas debated on putting in his two weeks notice, and quitting his job, however on second thought, this would be a very irrational decision seeing as how he had just established himself in this town. He knew almost no one here, and would not be able to afford losing his work. Unfortunately for poor Lucas, he had to put up with going to work for the man that stole his love, and crushed his world.
On the bright side, what little of one there is, he has always been a fair boss to Lucas. In fact, he would admit that Aaron is the best boss he has ever worked for as far as fairness in the workplace goes. However, how would he go to work every day facing the man he knows it having sex with his girl? The girl he thought was the love of his life. The thought of it was heart wrenching for Lucas, as he clocked in and sat down in his cubicle early this morning. The sound of papers fluttering, and keyboards pitter pattering all day as he pretended to work. His mind was always trailing off on tangents, wondering why this could happen to him. As the work day drew to an end, the hours seemed to tick away on the clocks slower than ever, until Aaron showed up randomly at Lucas' desk.
"..Can I help you, sir?" Lucas nervously popped his knuckles as he straightened his shirt and looked expectantly toward Aaron.
"Yes, actually. Since you've been such a good employee, Lucas, I'm inviting you to a special event next week. In fact, I would very much love to see you attend. I would hate to be forced to replace your position here in your absence." Aaron smirked as he knew Lucas would hate the following idea.
"W-what do you want me to do?" Lucas said with a sigh.
"I've signed us all up on a couples get away resort in Jamaica. It's a two week vacation, free and paid for by the company. I want you to come along, it'll be part of your job to do so. I'll be bringing Ashley, of course. So do find someone to bring with you. We'll have someone in the office here cover your work until we've returned." Without allowing a response, Aaron turned and stepped away from Lucas' cubicle and disappeared into his own office.
Lucas thought to himself how nice it would be to go to this resort, except that Aaron would be bringing you know who along with him as his date. Being filled with rage and desperation, he began to think on who he would ask to come along with him. Having not been in this town for very long, he knew no one, except in the back of his mind he had remembered seeing something a friend had shared on Facebook, that there was a witch of sorts that lived just a few blocks down from his apartment, who had the ability to summon entities from another realm. He considered this idea hogwash, but at this point in order to keep his job, and also his sanity, he was willing to try anything. As the clock struck 5 oclock, Lucas exited the building, and entered the GPS coordinates in his vehicle to the location where this lady who called herself a witch lived. He believed it's time he pay her a visit, just to see what she's all about.
