"A Sketchy Interview"

**"A Sketchy Interview"** is the third tale in the fourteenth episode of the third season of the Nolseep Podcast. In it, a man has a strange experience at an interview. Written by Matt Dymerski, it has a runtime of 9:45 and was performed by David Cummings. It is the 265th tale overall on the podcast.

## Summary

A man, desperate for a job, accepts a late-night interview for a vague position. Driving to the address the interviewer gave him, he finds himself in a large, empty parking lot outside a dark, abandoned-looking factory. As he walks towards the building, he realizes the interviewer never gave him an exact meeting location inside. He tries doors along the outside, finding them all locked, until one near the back finally opens.

The man enters a brightly-lit office and thinks he has found the right place, although there is no one in sight. He calls for someone, but receives no response. A faint noise of breaking glass can be heard. Checking a door next to the receptionist's desk, he finds a large, cavern-like room filled with machinery behind it. The only light on in the entire space is near the back, where an operator is loudly running a large machine.

The man gets the operator's attention and asks about the interview. The operator gets off and opens a large hatch in the machine, explaining that a wrench has fallen among the gears and pistons and that he needs it retrieved. The man mentions that the machine should be turned off. The operator responds that it is, despite the fact that he never saw him turn it off all the way.

The man realizes he'll have to crawl completely inside the hatch among the dangerous moving parts. Desperate, he reaches his hand in as far as it will go but is unable to touch or even see the wrench that is supposedly inside. The operator licks his lips and insists he gets in all the way. He is struck by an image of the operator shutting the hatch behind him and starting the machine, letting him be crushed. He climbs out, makes an excuse, and flees the building.

On the drive back home, the man rationalizes the situation . He concludes that he was being paranoid and probably offended the operator. When he gets back and checks his email, he discovers a message from the interviewer, explaining that he accidentally gave him the wrong address for the meeting.
