Again, this one was inspired by a line I read from Gaiman's new book "Fragile Things". Once more, the last line I've unabashedly borrowed.

The man didn’t flinch as the carrot bits hit him in the face. “Great, at least I get a little snack”, he thought. "This sure beats sitting around the office; pandering to silly clients, making sure the boss sees you working, dodging politics like a damn circus act. All that for what? A pat on the back and a raise enough to buy more short term highs”. He looks upward and sees it smiling down at him, just as the lid shut. And as the water boiled, he thought to himself, “At least you knew where you stood with monsters”.
