I was driving home after a terrible day at work. The only job I thought I was able to survive in just fired me and now I'm on my way home. There was no traffic so it was a smooth drive for me.
-Flashback to an hour ago-
I walked into my boss’s office ready to hear a unneeded lecture about something I’m innocent from.
“You wanted to talk to me?”
“Yes take a seat.”
I sat down in the only seat other than his. His room could make the bravest man shiver with fear. There wasn't anything bad or horrifying in it, just his pictures. Different pictures of him and past owners of the company all angled to stare right at you while being yelled at.
”We are both aware of the situation that could lead to the downfall of this company right Miller?”
”Yes sir, but if you hear me out I can explain everything.”
”I don't want to hear it. I already got enough information.”
He pulled out a handful of photos that looked like they were badly photoshopped.
“Now all the evidence leads to you having an affair with Mrs. Connors during break period.”
“That’s ridiculous! Give me a date and I would tell you exactly where I was.”
“I understand that you would be mad, but something like this isn't allowed in our workplace. I hate to say this, but your fired. Pack up your stuff and leave immediately!”
I stormed out of his room and back to my little corner of this hell hole and dumped all my personal items into a box that was ready to be used.
”That bitch Hannah. She always wanted to spice up her work life but it never came to her that someone else would face the consequences of her actions. Neither did the fact that she and her boyfriend would be scot-free if she edited the footage.” I thought to myself.
I grabbed the box and headed towards the exit of the building. ”Leaving so soon Mister Miller?” That voice was no other than Allison. She was sweet like cinnamon but had a hint of sass when it came to our hour-long conversations in the morning.
”Sorry to say but yes, I'm leaving this ditch with the hope of finding a better place.”
”If you need any job recommendations I know a few people who would gladly take someone as good as you.”
”That would be lovely. When will I meet them?”
”I can send a list as soon as possible. Just say the word and I'll tell them all the good things about you.”
”Thank you. Maybe we can have our chats again soon.”
”I hope so too. See you later alligator.”
”Afterwhile crocodile.”
I exited out the building, stepped into my car, and started it.
-End of flashback-
I drove into the parking lot of the apartments that I lived in. The place was nice since it had a gym and pool that was free for anyone who lived there. Not to mention a decently sized park that is perfect for walking your dogs or taking the family for a nice picnic.
The only problem with this place is the rooms. I wanted to find a place that was close to work and this place stunned me until I got my first bill. It was as if the owners thought multiple people with jobs lived in this place. So I called a few friends and found out that one of them was looking for a new home since it took forever for them to get to work. Coincidently they worked closer to my apartments than their old home. So we talked and I basically live with Jim and his girlfriend Stacy. They were both nice people that you would wish to live with.
I opened the door and walked past the two of them sitting on the couch watching tv.
”Watcha’ doing home early Mike?” Jim asked.
”I got fired because someone accused me of making out with some woman,” I told them.
”Did you though?” he questioned.
”Never! She was lucky that I resembled the guy or she would be fired for bringing her boyfriend for some love session!” I stated
”Wow, that's tough,” Stacy said,” So when are you going to look for a new job?”
”Probably tomorrow. Right now I'm just going to hit the hay.”
”But it's only 4 o'clock?” Jim said.
”Sounds like a good time for a nap if you ask me.”
”Alright”
In this apartment room, there are 2 bed and bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen followed by a small room for the washing machine and dryer. I walked into my room and got undressed to just my undershirt and boxers. Sleep is the perfect thing for someone like me right now.
