In "Very Much Like a Nightmare," an employee falls asleep at his desk and wakes later in the night to discover a robbery in progress.
Mr. McLean works on the seventh floor of the The Nugent Building. He has been out for a few days with the flu, but now, with the help of some pills from the pharmacy, he is back at work.
Toward the end of the day, he decides to take one of his little pills to help him wake up, but instead, he nods off to sleep at his desk. When he wakes, he is in the pitch black silence of an empty office...and he isn't the only one working late.
