A thin red string weaved it’s way through the entire office, across cubicles and over computer screens and twice around the water cooler, all the way to a set of desks cramped into a small room.
He was crawling around under her desk and tied the red string around her ankle, lucky for him she was to busy to notice.
He told his colleagues he was going to find a rare kind of paperclip in the storage room, and he hid himself inside.
The door opened and there stood the girl of his dreams, or at least she was standing there behind the big bundle of red thread she was holding in her arms.
She dropped it onto the floor and laughed, “What u doing?” she asked in a sweet voice.
He looked down to see if the string was still tied to her ankle, and it was, “Oh, thats just. I once read about something.” He nervously said.
The last time he was this nervous was when he had his drivers exam, he threw up twice in the car and still continued driving.
“Like what?” She asked and stepped over the pile of red string.
He was telling himself that things would work out, he still managed to pass his exam even though he had a lapful of vomit.
“There is this Chinese belief that the Gods tie strings around men and women who are suppose to find each other. Like soul mates.”, He explained while keeping a safe distance.
She slowly kept pacing forward, “And you figured you’d take matters into your own hands?”
“No, ever since we met I have been seeing the string, but I was afraid you couldn’t see it.”, He explained as she was standing so close he was breathing in her sugary smell.
“I can finally see it, I knew there was something between us.”, She said before she hooked her finger on one of his his belt loops and moved in for the kiss.
He felt so nervous he thought about the lapful of vomit again and felt sick again, he covered his mouth and made a gagging motion.
He ran past her and she immediately followed him, he wanted to rush his way to the restrooms but they both got entangled in the red string and fell down a flight of stairs and broke their necks.
The next day the office held a memorial service in the canteen, serving some kick ass tuna sandwiches.
