As you sit in the waiting room, you realize you've never seen a pictoral representation of Mr. Bosworth, the big boss at Drocto sales. You've been a telemarketer there for a year selling products that you don't understand. Most days are spent begging random strangers to buy the Droctothon 77ec10 in Battleship Grey. You don't know what a Droctothon 77ec10 is, or what it does or why anyone would want it, and yet you attempt cold call after cold call trying to sell them for Mr. Bosworth. Suffice it to say, not many products are sold by Drocto Sales, not many products at all. 

When an employee does finally sell their first product, they get to meet the man behind the whole operation, Mr. Bosworth, and now it's your turn. This morning, right after clocking in, you called the next number on your list. This time it was an agèd woman with a bad phone signal. You're not even sure that she understood what you were saying, but you were able to get a stable enough connection to take her credit card info and sell her a Droctoborg 92ee5, and now you're going to meet the big boss. 

His waiting room is cold and metallic and his secretary is blindfolded, sending strange signals into Mr. Bosworth through a series of mechanical pulleys and winches. She does not speak or make any visible shift at your arrival, but you believe she knows you are here. 

A mechanical scraping echoes from the opposite wall and a passageway opens. The silhouette of a man appears from the foggy, fluorescent chamber. Your legs shake as you step into THE office, Mr. Bosworth's office. He looks relaxed, but somehow also rigid. He is not the kind of man you could imagine running an operation like this… There's a strange purple glow emanating from his forehead. He reaches up to shake your hand and his skin feels almost rubbery?! What's this? He's just an animatronic, a cursèd Mannequin!
