Of course, you’ll have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. You will not talk to other employees. If you are assigned to the kitchen crew, the only person allowed to speak is Head Chef Uvebruce. If he is strict with you about how you are cutting onions, do NOT cry. Always use the proper knife.

When you are cleaning the living room, use only the down of the finest ostrich feathers. Do not allow Mitzi to ride the Roomba. Do not speak of the elephant in the room, whether it is grey, green, orange, striped or white.

You will be living on the premises for five months on, two days off. Your room is in the basement. You will share a communal bathroom with 20 other employees.

Welcome to Muskrat Mansions.

Any questions?

The place for strange and funny microfiction stories (300 words or fewer). If you prefer 301-word stories, then this isn’t the place for you. Come back when you have a shorter attention span. Nah, I’m kidding — stories of any length can be great. But here, it’s all ≤ 300.
