Short-Short Story: "Collection of Typos" - Weekly Short-Short Note 8/3 Prompt

"Hey, this document is full of typos! If you don't have the motivation, just go home! There are plenty of people who can replace you!"
The boss's scolding flies again today.
My documents are thrown at me, too.
I pick up the scattered papers and reply, "I'm sorry."
If you go home on the last train every single day, your concentration and motivation are bound to be drained.
My colleagues look at me for a split second with pity, but fearing that the sparks might fly their way, they immediately look down.
I take the documents I received back to my desk, feeling powerless.
Since more unnecessary work has been added, I'm guaranteed to be on the last train again today.
I silently correct the typos.
While fixing the typos, I decided to write them down on a memo pad to see if I could identify the parts I tend to get wrong.
Then, I realized that the simple typos, when collected and rearranged, began to take on a meaning.
A chill ran down my spine, but my curiosity won out.
The resulting sentence was,

"Your boss is not human. Run."

Someone is standing behind me.
I cannot turn around.
