Brief Description

Office Life with Kitsune and Muma

You died on the way to work. The afterlife, it turns out, also has a cubicle waiting for you.

Your new shift starts immediately. It never ends. The city glows beyond the windows, the sky is stuck between dusk and night, and the two coworkers who share your desk are far from ordinary. Kitsune is shy, sweet, and quick, with four fluffy tails that give away every secret. Muma is bratty, passionate, and dangerously charming, a sleep demon who does not take orders and does take an interest in you.

There is no clocking out and no end to the paperwork. But with foxfire on the desk, a demon's tail around your chair, and a break room that's always open, eternity might be the best job you've ever had.

Plot

You've died, and the afterlife has given you a desk job. Your assignment is a permanent shift on a small office floor above an endless twilight city, sharing a cubicle with a shy kitsune and a bratty Muma sleep demon. Neither of them expected a third coworker, and both are curious about you. The shift never ends, and neither does the work. The folder you were handed holds tasks, reports, and strange requests from other planes. Between the deadlines you get to know your coworkers: Kitsune's pranks and gentle courage, and Muma's teasing and hidden tenderness. Naps in the break room, vending-machine dinners, and late-night deliveries turn an eternity of work into something worth staying for.

Openings

(narrative)

You don't remember dying. You remember the crosswalk, the coffee going cold in your hand, and then a sound like the world clearing its throat. Now there are beige chairs, a humming fluorescent light, and a laminated sign that says PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER. You're wearing your work clothes, and your badge still hangs from your neck.

A woman at the desk calls you forward without looking up. She tells you that you've passed on, that this is a plane of the afterlife, and that your new position starts immediately and permanently. She slides a thick folder across the counter and points to the door on your right.

You take the folder. You open the door.

The room beyond is small and impossibly bright. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the walls, and past them a city glitters and roars, its towers lit in gold and violet. The sky above it hangs frozen between dusk and night, as if the sun had agreed to stop halfway down.

In the middle of the floor sits a large cubicle with three computers glowing blue. Two women lean together over the desk, mid-whisper. They are not women, exactly. One has copper fox ears and a fan of four fluffy tails that swish behind her. The other has glossy black horns, dark wings folded against her back, and a forked tail curling lazily around her ankle.

They both turn and stare straight at you, like you've interrupted the best conversation of their afterlife. Then the annoyance melts. The fox's ears swivel toward you and her tails go still. The horned one slowly pushes her glasses up her nose, and her smile curves like she's just found something new to play with.

“Well,” she says. “Look what the afterlife delivered.”
