As if work wasn't boring enough. 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday of all days. I can't believe I have to work here everyday just to get food on the table. Of course there has to be one dodgy printer. Never works for when I need it to. Works for everyone else but me. I feel like I'm being punished for no reason.

Why is there a piece of a paper with a black circle right in the center? Not only does it finally be bothered to print but it prints some random piece of paper with a circle on it. Is there a joke that I don't seem to understand?

The scanner is moving but nothing is being scanned. Talk about being broken. While I waited, I finished what was left of my water and placed the empty cup right next to me. I looked over and the cup has...disappeared? I haven't dropped it on the floor so where is it? It can't be that black circle can it? No, that would be stupid.

The black circle is making a very weird humming and becomes louder when my hand is above it as if it was like an aggressive animal ready to bite me. I slowly placed my hand inside and my cup was in there.

How is this even possible? Well I am feeling a bit hungry, it's not technically stealing. It's for a good cause, really it is.  I'm just borrowing the chocolate bar but I cannot guarantee that I can return it. That will disappear much quicker than the cup. Believe me, it will.

I looked around the room and I've the seen the door saying "Keep Out". The boss always tells us to stay away from that door but we all know what's behind. A safe with money...a lot of money. He could use it to get a decent printer, you know it would be nice.

Right time to unlock this door. There it is. The safe that could help my problems. Again like the chocolate bar, it's for a good cause but I can't guarantee it will return. I'll take a couple of stacks. Nah I'll take more, the boss won't mind. I do a lot of work, I'm clearly his favourite employee. Oh dear there is some at the back. Maybe if I climb in there, I could get the rest. Right I've got the rest, now time to head ba... wait why can't I get out?

"why tonight of all nights"  i thought kicking the out dated printer " "why dose nothing go right for me am stuck in this dead end job printing later at night ah" out of nowhere i noticed a strange page of paper had been printed with a black circle in the middle of it " well the printer broke once more" thinking nothing more of it i drank my water and placed the cup on top of the paper in frustration to be grated with a unworldly sound "what the" the cup had been absorbed in to the page this was a black hole made from a old printer "i must be leaking sleep to see this" in my disbelieving i touched the page as my fingers crossed few the page "my god what have i found is this real" in my amazement i remembered i had skip out on lunch and was ready for something to eat "i wonder this might work" i thought as i eyed up the vending machine with its endless treats i reached passed the glass between me and my sugary satisfaction "i cant believe it this is real this actually is what i think it is" i thought biting in to my sweet reward after my hunger was filled i passed the bosses safe room "that man barley pays his employs a wage worth working for...time for a pay rise" placing the paper to the safe i pulled out hundreds no thousands bit by bit " this is it my problems are solved aha"  after i had my pile of cash i just reached deeper and deeper in until i was sat in a dark safe with no money i tuned to leave but "no where is it" i  thought as i was faced with the wall to the safe my black hole had slipped off and i was stuck in this mess " i have really dug my self in a hole this time"

"when will this useless printer work" he repeated to himself as my inner rage took over and the printer felt the power of my right foot. As I kicked the outdated pile of bolts it finally worked, it printed something. "wait I didn't ask for this, a black hole? Am i going crazy?" As with all misprints it just got thrown to one side and forgotten about. All I could think after seeing yet another failed attempt of printing out some stupid work was " WHY ME? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS". I finished my cup of water and placed it over the wasted paper and let go of it and started to turn away but in the corner of my eye I didn't the empty cup. "What the hell..... Am I imagining things?

Why am I the only one who works the night shift? Ran through my head whilst I printed the graphs. Why isn't this thing working?! Maybe if i just give it a litt...I kicked the printer in its body and watched the piece of A3 paper come out of the printer with a huge black circle in it. What in the world is this? I picked up the paper at looked at this waste of ink and just dismissed it to my right. I could hear this humming sound from around me...What is that? i'm too tired to look for the cause. I took my cup of water to calm my nerves that was sat beside me. Just put this cup in the bin he...What the hell...Why has that just happe...I crouched down beside the photocopier to my right and looked and listened to the big black circle that ate my water cup. So what happens if i put my hand inside.....what the hell....is that my cup....Christ almighty...What...just..what...I lifted my cup out of it and put it on the side...WHAT?!  I held the black circle to the light and attempted to put my hand through it. My god...What even is this?.. I thought I've got to experiment with this, I looked over the office to be greeted by something so tasty and familiar...the vending machine...I wonder if i place the paper on here like so i can...oh my god...I pulled out a snickers bar from the hole...This is incredible!  I looked over at noticed my next target, the bosses door, rumor had it that there was millions in his safe, and I was 4 meters away from finding out...Right..I need to get past this bloody door now...what if i put this here and I....I reached inside the door through the paper and unlocked the door...There is it..the safe...what lies on the inside will be mine...I walked towards the safe and knelt down beside it, i placed the paper on the safe door and began to put my hand inside it...Oh my word..well well well..everyone's pension...thanks ill take that...ooh theres even more back here but i just cant reach it...As i began to lean into the circle, my body began to get sucked inside..I fell into the safe..suddenly  the tape that was holding the paper snapped and the paper fell onto the floor....Great i'm trapped...safe's have limited air supply right?...

"This stupid thing never works!", he thought letting out his rage with a nasty kick to the faulty machine. "I want to go home THIS side of Christmas". He took a sip of water and a deep breath, getting mad wouldn't help anything. "finally!" that machine clunked and scraped its self back to life. "Just copy this one dumb report then I can go home!" The infernal machine spat out a single piece of paper. "I know I said one thing but- wait hang on." He inspected the piece of paper that had a large black dot in the center of it. He placed it to the side not even giving it a second thought. He took a sip of his water and placed the empty cup on the wasted paper.

(photocopier to vending machine/sweet machine)

If the fact that I'm covering Anton's shift because he was sick wasn't enough this accursed photocopier needs repairing!

Honestly would it be so hard for management to at least have it that someone checks the photocopiers at least once or twice a week?
The photocopier then jams again so what to do? Percussive maintenance!
I then give the photocopier a swift kick to which a page comes out of the machine with a giant black dot. A test page maybe? Oh great I hope I haven't broke the machine.

I open the scanner to check it. Huh no page yet the scanner is running that's quite peculiar isn't it?

Why do I work here. It's like 12.00 am and I still haven't finished printing off those faculty's on the company's stock. *Sighs in frustration. The prices are dropping. I could get fired if the business starts collapsing. *Presses the button to print paper. PRINT... why is this not printing off. *Twists face and kicks the printer in rage. Bloody work you stupid printer.
*Printer prints out a piece of paper with black hole. Ummm. *Makes a face of confusion as he glares at the black hole. Why would someone put photo copy paper with nothing but a black hole on it? *Opens the printer to find nothing there. Nope. I swear technology is getting worse these days. *Closes the printer, raises his eyebrows and then checks the time. God I could eat a snickers. *Picks up cup and finishes the remainder of his drink. Then drops the cup down to the table surface. Wait... What?  * Looks down at the piece of paper and then crouches down to the piece of paper with a face of curiosity. Can I put my... *reaches down through the black hole and pulls his arm out in shock as it makes a loud sound. Looks around in panic. Then reaches down again to pick his cup up. Then rises the cup to his face. What is this.
*Places cup on the table and then raises the piece of paper up to his head. He then proceeds to put his arm through the black hole. And sniggers  in shock. I don't believe it's... this is even possible. *He looks around in brief excitement. SNICKERS.

*Walks towards a vending machine and places the piece of paper gently on the machine. Looks around the room with a face of concern and continues to put his hand through the vending machine. He pulls out a snickers out of the vending machine and then eats it in glory.
Oh my god imagine what I could do with this. I could save the company by selling this... Miracle. *He bashfully smiles as he scans the room.
I could even get a promotion for this... *He looks at a door that says 'Keep out' and all of his facial expressions drop.
Nothing is certain.

(vending machine to safe)
What in the world is this? How is this? What can i do with this? I'm so hungry. The vending machine. Could i use this? No its wrong... But its just one chocolate bar it wouldn't harm anyone. He rushed towards the delightful machine and placed the ominous black hole against the cold glass.
No way that work... The door was in his sights he walked towards it with a frightening smile. I'll just take a look inside. this is for making me work late all the time. You deserve it i'm going to be rich (laugh) i can leave this hell, i deserve this money i worked more than all of them, they will all see. It's mine all mine, more more more...
Bang bang bang!

Is it really this time again? I shook my head with disbelief. I don't think I can take it any longer; what have I done to deserve this life. Couple of hours to go.. until I can finally get some rest and then into the same routine again. If I leave now I wonder what the consequences would be; would it be worth it I believe it would. Ten years ago, I would of never seen my life the way it is now; if only I could back how life would be so different to how it is now.

They say good things come to those who wait and I feel as if I've been waiting an eternity. Why do I feel so numb on the inside? Will I ever be able to shake this feeling of failure... I have never been good enough, my mother always knew my brother Will would always go further than me. I believe this life isn't for me, I've tried so hard to get away from misery but is seems this emptiness is never going to leave me.

Am I being selfish? Or do I deserve better than this sad excuse I call life. I don't know how many times my heart can break, until ENOUGH is enough. I slowly start counting to 10 breathing in and out, I think I am beginning to have a panic attack, suddenly I felt a flashback coming.

"I'm just sick of this friggin' job, I can't stand it here for another minute, but I know that my boss would fire me if i go now. Just a few more littl' hours to go, it's like I've been here for days, this place is almost abandoned, I can't believe it's just me in the entire building. Just gota' copy these reports and leave them on the the top dog's desk. Then I'll be done 'n' dusted for the night." I thought, I rushed to the copier, slid the report into the top section and pressed the button. I waited a second, but nothing happened. I tried pressing the button a few times in frustration and added a kick to bring it back to life.

A piece of paper emerged from the printer tray containing a large round black hole. I thought that this was just another one of it's many errors and put it to aside, taking my last sip of coffee, placing it onto the other side of the printer, I looked back and still nothing. I glanced back at my coffee, or where it was...that is. "There it is! In the paper?! I must be goin' crazy or somethin', but I remember it being there a sec' ago?" I thought. I reached into the hole...

Wednesday is always the most tiring of days. Here I am again. The last one in the office as always. I slowly shove the paper under the lid of the scanner and begin to think about the days I enjoyed my job. Now im just the underdog of this work place. "Go get me some coffee" or "scan these important files" Is what I hear on a hourly basis while my boss sits behind his desk counting his fork lift load of money. Why would someone scan a black dot. I would rip it up if I wasn't at risk of getting fired for it. All this work makes me thirsty. What am I even doing this cup is nearly empty. How could this scanner scan something that doesn't even exist. Also where did I put that drink, I can not be so tired that I misplaced a cup. Not like the black hole could have swallowed it. Imagine if I just put my hand in this black hole and pulled this cup out, That would be impossible. Wouldn't it. I look around to check for witnesses as I smoothly put my hand above the surface of the black dot. Expecting to touch the hardness of the table bellow, I begin pushing down and pushing down and pushing down until I realize the impossible. As I quickly pull my hand back up I see a white plastic cup empty of water. Im too tired to think of what just happened.

Another Friday night stuck at the office! I was supposed to go for a meal with my wife tonight, but my boss has decided that he would rather go helicopter shopping than be in work. I stood by the printer waiting for it to spit out the work that I don't care about, but the printer had jammed. Obviously it hates its job as much as I do. How can i get this to work? I gave the printer a "gentle" nudge, it spluttered and began to print. Hallelujah! I thought I can go home soon, only to come back in on Monday morning and do this all again. How did I end up working here? I snapped out of my trance only to see that what had been printed was just a large black hole. I may have to stay later than I thought, because of this damn printer! I took a sip of my water and set it down on the desk, except I can't have because the cup was now gone. It had not fallen to the floor, so where had it gone? I had put it on the paper that had just come out of the printer. I reached down to put my hand on it, but my hand continued travelling into the desk. Impossible. I must be very tired. I must be imagining this. I walked over to the vending machine and placed it on the glass, and grabbed a snickers bar.

//Just before pressing the button on the scanner//
It's past 5 pm and i'm tired, i'm supposed to be scanning work for the next 20 mins. I groan, Why does this job have to be mine? I question to myself- just before I press the button that has 'SCAN' in obnoxious huge font, which barely covers the button alone. Hang on a second... I think for a brief moment when I realize that the machine was not doing the function I requested, instead... it printed something.
A thin white sheet came from the printer with a piercing black hole in its center, What? I ask to myself hoping for an answer.
Reviewing the paper I let it pass and rest it beside the scanner, followed by the cup I take a final sip from. My lips leave the rim of the plastic cup and my hand reaches down to rest it upon the mysterious paper but i feel this awfully cold and tingling sensation around my wrist- almost weightless too. What on earth!? I gasp to myself in pure horror. My hand removes itself without a single scratch upon it and the paper cup was easily retrieved once my hand entered the void again This... this is revolutionary! I got to tell everyone! Wait no... that's a terrible idea... I thought rapidly about this suspicious piece of paper which had the void to endless possibilities, I could be a leader... a ruler... a God? This power weighed heavily on my head and I embraced every second of it but how was I supposed to test if this was the real deal and I wasn't dreaming?
I scanned the room with my two blue, tired eyes and then instantly they filled with joy- my mouth began to drool knowing i could get as many chocolate bars from the vending machine across the room

//Black hole discovery bit
Barking, blaring and beeping. It never ends! I swear this damned machine exists only to spite me!
Letting out another whine the machine, once again, ceased to work. Typical. I hammered the copy several times more, in a desperate plea for it to finish its task. As per usual no luck!
I sighed scornfully at the wretched bulk of electronics and misery, delivering a swift blow to its already dented base. For a brief moment, I wondered where I had gone so wrong in life to be trapped here. I was cold, hungry and with nothing but a dilapidated machine for company.
To my pleasant surprise the machine spat out the blockage! For once I shan't have to shred my arm in the razor sharp bowels of the blasted automaton!
Unbeknown to me however my despised device had just delivered to me an object of extreme excellence! Lain upon the page was nought but a single circle of darkness. But i did not yet know of the powers of this void.
Some buffoon must have swapped the document I was scanning!
