Iso-pentyl acetate

(appeared in the Project Mayhem micro-fiction anthology, released 2/1/2013 by Mouldwarp Press)

 

The company sold honey. That much was clear. The name of the company on the sign out front made that clear.

It was a day like any other.

The deliveryman walked in as he always did and dropped off a package. On the way out he accidentally bumped into one of employees walking in. The employee got very agitated. The deliveryman tried to apologize and went to slap him on the back.

That sudden movement was a mistake.

Suddenly other employees began to pour out of all the adjacent doorways, swarming the deliveryman. He disappeared under punching arms and kicking legs. Around him were dozens of people pacing frantically. Milling and bustling about.

Eventually everybody calmed down and started to return to their desks throughout the building.

Eventually it was only the receptionist and the motionless body of the deliveryman in the lobby.
