First things first... Is 'he' human? Does fired mean that he was fired from his job? Another meaning? Was he required to stand? Or does sat down have another meaning? | ||

Uh oh, this reminds me of something that happened when we viewed a flat with an agent, so I hope this isn't the spioler as it's a bit soon, and it's not exactly a crime, so here goes. Did he use the empty property's toilet (and the water had been turned off)? | ||

Did he sit on something important to his boss? Important to someone else? Did he do it intentionally? By accident? Another party caused him to be there? Is it common for people to sit where he sat? Where there others who are relevant to this puzzle who sat on it too? Was it a small object(Book sized)? Smaller? Bigger(Chair sized)? Even bigger? Did he commit a felony? Where others fired along with him? Was he doing anything specific while sitting? Is it relevant? | ||

How far back does the narrative go? seconds,minutes, hours,days,weeks,months,years,decade,lifetime? Did he sit on some type of button? | ||

An alarm panic button? no I figured it was only a matter of time on this one. $poiler to come, unless you want to try to guess his crime. | ||

******************SPOILER********************* This is inspired by something that happened to my dad, although not nearly so dramatic, of course. A man has been engaging in insider trading for months without getting caught. Unfortunately, when he is in a meeting with his broker, he sits down to discuss his latest insider information, and activates the speed dial on his cellphone, which calls his boss. When she gets the message, not only does she discover what he's been up to, but she even has proof. Thanks for playing, and if you're looking for something a bit harder, maybe try my other puzzle, 404. |
