It was going to be hard to go back to his dull, normal life.
EPILOGUE
HAL PARKED his car in his usual spot and walked across the long parking lot. Hal Dix, known by some as The Hood, was going back to his day job.
"Hi, Hal," Pam called out from behind the reception desk as Hal walked through the front doors of the call center building.
"Oh, hi, Pam," Hal replied. He was distracted by a strange sound ringing in his ears. It was vaguely familiar.
"How was your long weekend? Did you do anything fun?" Pam asked.
"How could anything boring old Hal Dix did over the weekend qualify as fun?" Barry, the office manager, laughed as he walked by. "You probably stayed at home and hid from your neighbors, right Hal?"
The sound in Hal's ears got louder. He recognized it now. It was the spinning wheels of the slot machine that signified his luck, luck he'd never had before in this world.
"Barry," Hal said. "Sadly, you'll never know what kind of fun I had this weekend. It's the kind of fun you'd never have the guts to seek out."
Several of Hal's coworkers laughed at the comment, siding with Hal at Barry's expense for the first time. Their response brought a smile to his face. He walked past the stunned Barry and headed to his desk. The slot's wheels still spun and rattled in his head. Hal wondered what it meant. Could he be going crazy, delusional?
Sitting down in his cubical, Hal switched on his computer. He had numerous email notifications pop up as he logged in. One caught his eyes immediately. He reached up and clicked the email with the subject line reading "Arrantis Technologies Management Training Program Application."
The instant he clicked on the email, the slot machine chimed in his head, and everything went silent. It seemed as if the entire office had hushed to allow him to read the email as it opened on his screen. The message was short and to the point.
TO: Harry Dix
From: The Office of the CEO, Justin Thomas
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ACCEPTED into the management training program for Arrantis Technologies upper management team. You'll be contacted soon regarding when you'll start and what you'll need to do to prepare for this unique opportunity.
HAL SMILED, reading through the message for the second time. In his mind, he saw one more message scroll across the screen.

We Need Your Help …
Without reviews indie books like this one are almost impossible to market.
Leaving a review will only take a minute — it doesn’t have to be long or involved, just a sentence or two that tells people what you liked about the book, to help other readers know why they might like it, too. It also helps us write more of what you love.
The truth is, VERY few readers leave reviews. Please help us out by being the exception.
Thank you in advance!
