Welcome to the Nightly Pleasures podcast, episode number four.

I am your host and author of the pieces you're about to hear The Grey Knight.

Today, two pieces, the first of which, a more recent one, but one that I really quite enjoyed making,

it's a little bit about degradation in the workplace, so do keep that in mind if it's not

quite your thing. I give you demotion.

Come in. Oh, there you are.

Excited?

Yeah, I imagine you are just about ready.

Well, I am glad that you have had a good last day here.

You, of course, have been an exemplary employee in every way, moving onwards and

upwards and all that good stuff. Hey, just real quick, there's something we got to talk about. Could

you close the door behind you?

No, no, don't worry.

I'm not going to keep you too long.

It'll just take a second.

A minute or two at most.

There we go, thank you.

Please have a seat.

Please, have a seat. I insist. Hmm. You know, the office is just not going to be the same without you. No, no, I'm going to miss your pretty little face brightening up the place.

And I know we haven't always gotten along, but let me tell you, I am going to miss you.

I'm going to miss a lot about you.

Are you going to miss it here?
