Absence Line - Tuesday(Chris Carter) Tuesday
Ring ring ring ring
“Good Morning, you are through to Jen on the absence line”
“Morning Jen, it's Chris”
“Hi Chris, so why are you not coming in?”
“There is something under my bed”
“There is something under your bed?”
“There is a Gremlin under my bed and it will eat me if I get out.”
“A Gremlin?”
“Yes”
“Under your bed?”
“Yes”
“An actual Gremlin?”
“Yes. And fully prepared to eat me if I get up”
“And you know this how?”
“I had a vision”
“A vision?”
“Yes”
“When?”
“Last night after I fell asleep”
“A nightmare?”
“No a vision”
“Have you looked under your bed?”
“No”
“Chris?”
“Yes”
“Could you look under the bed?”
“Hang on”
Rustling sounds
“I am looking under the bed”
“And what can you see?”
“Well, there are tissues”
“Yes, well I think we can discount them as any threat to you but the implication is making me feel a little nauseous. What else?”
“Er..... there is some fluff?”
“Anything else?”
“No”
“Does it look like dangerous fluff?”
“Not to a great extent”
“Is the fluff in any way suspicious looking?”
“Not really”
“Is there anything there that actually resembles a Gremlin?”
“Not as such no”
“Is there the slightest possibility that what you had was not actually a vision, but a dream? A bad dream I will grant you, but I challenge you that on the weight of all the available evidence it was a dream?”
“The evidence certainly suggests that”
“Chris?”
“Yes?”
“Work please!”
