About this ebook
Fiction. Short Story. Science Fiction, horror. Black Glass tells the story of a worker in the not-too-distant future by the name of Henry Jones. Henry receives a mysterious letter in the mail one day, a letter with ominous overtones. The message from Head Office: clear out your desk, you are no longer relevant. What follows next is an anxiety-dripping slide into a world where to become obsolete is to perish. Thwarted at every turn, Henry tries desperately to cling to a life that once seemed impervious to failure, but that reality slips through his fingertips minute by minute.
