Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World

＂WARNING! If encountered by any unauthorized personnel or otherwise in Dark Enterprises’s company elevators, take extra precaution and do not engage or enter into any deals with them. Any such behavior could result in world destruction. Colin, a lowly employee at Dark Enterprises, a Hell-like corporation solving the world’s most difficult problems in the most questionable ways, is ready to start exerting his own power...at the top of the corporate ladder. The only problem is he’s pretty sure he’s getting fired (aka killed because no one gets an exit interview at DE). Tough, since his bff has just set him up with a great guy...maybe a little too great...and he weirdly likes corporate life. When Colin meets a shadowy figure promising his heart’s desire if he agrees to a small favor, he can’t resist the urge to fast-track his goals. He asks for the thing anyone would in this situation-a promotion. But that small favor unleashes an ancient evil. People in New York are disappearing. The world might be ending and Management is starting to notice. The ladder to the top is never easy and now it’s up to Colin to save the world...or at least get a bonus for doing so＂--
