This post was an official UberMadness! entry. Click here to view the original matchup.
It woke up hungry and opened its doors. It was time to feed the company's cause.
The parking structure rumbled and the cars delivered the people. Those who were paid to be consumed funneled into the building, human ingredients of the corporate recipe.
The corridors swelled with the eight o'clock binge of workers who mingled briefly before submerging into the belly of business. It loosened its belt to accommodate the day's helping.
The company's servings settled into their positions on the corporate pyramid, some more essential than others to the corporate health, each person's contents was declared on their pre-employment packaging, each individual a specialty available in abundance at the company's beckoning.
The flow of energy surged through its networks. The numbers crunched. The ideas flowed. The results were sugar coated. The corporation sampled new and improved flavors of advancement. The stale and broken old stand-bys were ignored or discarded. The company reached for the new packaging of innovation - smaller, leaner, and better for the bottom line.
Business boomed. Its stomach churned, hungry for growth and instant gratification - another piece of pie. It shifted uneasily in its structure fighting the weight and expense of the bulk it carried.
No one dared limit its portions, its size much too great for that. It chewed on the hearts and brains of its workers every moment on the clock.
The evening came and it closed its doors, sleepy from the feast. The worker's remains in their cars, expelled from the beast.
While it slept the workers restocked their supplies and closed their eyes after counting out their pay.
Morning came, its stomach growled and the parking structure rumbled.
