The Other Side of the Hallway
The Other Side of the Hallway
a corporate-horror novelette by Tim Paggi
There’s a hallway on the fourth floor of the ConGate Corporate HQ, and it doesn’t work the same as other hallways: sometimes it’s ten feet long, sometimes it stretches for miles; most times, nobody else is inside it, and sometimes it reveals surprises…
LaTonya and Belinda are two low-tier ConGate employees who overcome the boredom of their workplace routines through a shared curiosity about the hallway’s secrets. They believe they can crack the hallway’s mystery and find out where it ultimately leads…but what they discover on the hallway’s other side changes their lives forever.
The Other Side of the Hallway, by writer/performer Tim Paggi, is a Kafkaesque workplace satire that borrows from the liminal spaces subgenre of horror, which was popularized by the YouTube phenomenon Backrooms, as well as literary works such as Coup de Grace by Sofia Ajram.
