The story

Norah wakes on the Tuesday morning she remembers dying on, back at the Stratton & Co. marketing floor with the memory of a broken champagne bottle and a club owner demanding thirty thousand dollars. This time, when Mindy invites the team to a private lounge at The Ace of Spades, Norah refuses. She asks how ten bottles of Armand de Brignac will be expensed against an eight-hundred-dollar quarterly budget, and Mindy's warmth curdles.

Howard, the VP, tells Norah to be a team player, and Mindy begins her quiet campaign: a whispered voice note to the group, a peach drink left on Norah's desk, a sabotaged power strip, and a vague claim of friction on the Highpoint Media project that plants doubt in Howard's mind. Norah digs into the expense reports and finds a June retreat billed at twelve thousand dollars, its handwritten receipt altered with liquid paper.

She saves the evidence, and a message from Mindy appears on her screen, sweet as ever, inviting her downstairs for cookies.

Opening

The first thing I smelled was the copper of my own blood. The last thing I felt was the jagged edge of a broken champagne bottle tearing through my carotid artery.

Then, I blinked.

The neon glare of the club was gone. In its place was the sterile, flickering fluorescent light of the Stratton & Co. marketing floor. I was back. Back to the Tuesday morning when Mindy first proposed the "team-building" night that would end my life.
