Although there were six injured workers, thankfully there were no life-threatening injuries reported.…
It was funny, Shadow thought, how public perception seemed to constantly oscillate between Doomsday panic, and acting like the problem never existed. She took a moment to herself to picture how much better the media darlings in question would look with a fine fur coat and heaving milky bosoms. A knock on the door interrupted her fantasizing before she could reach down and really get into it. “Breakfast Mistress!” Rang a gentle voice from outside. Shadow smiled and bade her in.
