Corporate Man is called in to investigate reports of vile, unethical business practices at Great American Business Company. What he finds there just might destroy him (except we all know the ending to The Tragic Death of Corporate Man so it should be fairly obvious that it can't really destroy him, though it can come close).

Enslaved by the Bonus Whores is an all new Corporate Man Adventure Serial. Chapters will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

After nearly a decade of imprisonment, Corporate Man returns to find the economy in ruins and his deadliest enemies in control of all but a fraction of society's wealth. He embarks upon a quest to set right the wrongs of the business world; a task that will ultimately destroy him.

Chapter 139


5.n.
The walls were white with a horizontal stripe of deep blue, the width of a yard stick, set at eye level.  The light seemed dim.  Almost like twilight.  Framed photographs of colorful fish schooling around coral reefs hung at measured intervals within the wall’s blue line. 
There was something ominous about the seemingly cheerful pictures and after a moment, Franklin Buck saw it.  The background in all the photos was the deep, open ocean.  Barely visible in the gloom was an ocean predator.  A barracuda or stingray.  Most were sharks, lurking at the edges of visible space, ready to attack the unprepared.
“I don’t like this floor,” said Franklin Buck.  “We should go back.”
“You prefer the killer robots then?” asked Fair Wage.
“No, but we should get out of here anyway.”
“We will,” said Supply.  “As soon as we find another staircase.”
