Falling Up [Fiction | Satire] by Sevastian Winters

Falling Up is a darkly comic short story about ambition, confidence, and the fine line between leadership and delusion.Told through the voice of a man who believes every setback is actually a promotion in disguise, this satirical workplace story explores modern office culture, corporate language, performance reviews, and the myths we tell ourselves about success. As small inconveniences pile up, so does the narrator’s certainty that he’s destined for something bigger—much bigger.Sharp, absurd, and unsettlingly familiar, Falling Up is a piece of literary satire for anyone who has ever sat through a meeting and wondered how confidence became currency.
