She Told Me to Shut Up,So I Let Her Empire Burn

During an important company meeting, Kate Henson called on me by name.

She asked what I thought of Nelson Gilbert's collision-avoidance program.

I stood up, mumbled something about a stomachache, and walked out.

Because in my previous life, I'd pointed out a critical flaw in that program. Told them the whole thing needed to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch.

Nelson, humiliated in front of the entire room, went out that night and drank himself blind. A wrong-way semi hit him head-on. Killed him instantly.
