Reduction In Force — Cathryn Grant

"Fiction too close to today's headlines."

REDUCTION IN FORCE is a collection of two Suburban Noir Short Stories, originally published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.

TALKING HERSELF TO DEATH: Eddie is the only person at CompuTech who can tolerate Jill Madison's tedious chatter. Even Eddie's patience wears thin after Jill's employment is terminated and she pushes their friendship too far.

A GOOD MAN: When his job becomes the victim of a "reduction in force", David realizes that being a good man hasn't paid off, so why bother?

Approximately 25 pages in print.
