by henry drown



dfg-75, a humble technician employed by the abc corporation, was summoned to the office of the chief executive officer of the corporation.

come in, dfg-75, and close the door behind you, the. chief executve officer said, with a voice and expression that were neither friendly nor unfriendly.

i suppose you know why i have had you brought here, the chief executive officer continued, when dfg-75 had seated himself..

no, i do not, dfg-75 replied.

you do not know why you are here?

no.

you have absolutely no idea why you are here?

i am sorry , i do not, dfg-75 replied for the third time.

very well then, you may go. please close the door behind you.

dfg-75 got up and left the room and returned to his work station.

he never heard anything more about the incident, either from his supervisors or in his annual reports, and he never asked about it.

he continued to work at the abc corporation for many years.
