[An old story penned around 2004 but if you read my comment at the end, it is strangely relevant: Samantha]
The day I had been fearing for some time finally came. Rumours were flying everywhere and finally, just before knocking off time we got word to assemble in the works canteen for an important announcement.
There was an expectant hubbub of noise even though we all know what was going to happen.
The works director came in and turned to face us.
“Ladies and Gentlemen. It gives me no pleasure to have to tell you this but effective today, this factory will close its gates forever”
There was a stunned silence. We knew it was going to be bad but not that bad.
