Characters
Mark
supporting
Mark is an adult male in his early 30s, with short, slightly messy brown hair and tired blue eyes. He has a pale skin tone and an average build. When stressed, he often has a light stubble and sweat beads on his forehead. He typically wears a slightly rumpled light blue button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up and dark trousers, appropriate for an office setting.

“Just gotta finish this report.”

Panel 3: Mark's eyes widen in disbelief, his hand hovering over the keyboard, a half-eaten sandwich forgotten beside him.
“Oh, you've gotta be kidding.”

Panel 1: Mark attempts to plug the cable back in, but it snaps cleanly in two, emitting a small spark and smoke.
“F--!”
Panel 2: Anna, a stern-faced manager, stands in Mark's cubicle entrance, arms crossed, looking unimpressed at the scene.
“Everything alright, Mark?”
Panel 3: Mark is slumped on the floor amidst a tangled mess of broken wires and a smoking computer, his face covered in soot, as Anna stares.

Panel 1: Mark sits handcuffed in the back of a police car, looking utterly defeated, staring out the window at flashing emergency lights.
“Well, that escalated.”
Panel 2: Mark holds a local newspaper in his handcuffed hands, its headline blaring: 'OFFICE 'INCIDENT' LEADS TO ARREST: MAN CITED FOR 'COMPUTER F*CKERY'.'
Panel 3: Mark leans his head back against the seat, a small, dark smile playing on his lips, completely resigned.
“Guess I'm fucked.”
