Popcorn Ebook

🎬 Employee Appreciation Day just got sinister.

At the corporate offices of KhulaCorp, a bag of popcorn is handed out to every employee as a token of gratitude. But when workers start eating the snack, something changes. Their eyes glaze over. Their smiles stretch too wide. Their productivity soars.

And they never complain again.

When one employee refuses to take a bite, she begins to see the truth behind the company's manufactured cheer-and the horrifying cost of being a "valued team player."

In a workplace where happiness is mandatory and gratitude is weaponised, what happens when you're the only one who's still human?

A short story of corporate horror, toxic positivity, and the creeping dread of compliance.
