(Request: This is FICTION so please try NOT to take it personally, thanks!!),
Meanwhile, in a far and unknown commercial district location..
Person #1: He can’t help it!
Person #2: No, he can help it..
Person #1: How do you know?
Person #2: Because when no one is around, the guy harasses people, and we work a very high pressure job. Therefore, if we’re screwing up as a result of him being a pain in the ass, it’s not fair towards us to get blamed for messing up when we’re forced to remain working with him!
Person #1: But you didn’t answer my question!
Person #2: And you don’t understand what I keep trying to tell you!
Person #1: What the f*ck don’t I understand!?
Person #2: Well if you just.. chill out and allow me to finish I’ll tell you.
Person #1 deeply inhales, exhales, then allows Person #2 to continue talking..
Person #2: Look, he’s good at first impressions, and people who meet him for 5 minutes think he’s all kind, polite and nice. However, when he spots you all alone, he changes..
Person #1: But now you’re judging him and you say to “not judge others”.
Person #2: It’s because he’s killing me.. It’s probably because we’re understaffed which is why my boss—
Person #1: But this isn’t about your boss, this is about you!
Person #2: You’re not even—
Person #1: I’m listening, yet you go around blaming others for your own—
Person #2: Bullshit! He’s harassing me! And people meet him for five minutes and they think “he’s fine”.
Person #1: Oh pfff, who said that?
Person #2: Wow, I thought you cared, and now.. look, point is, it’s the—
Person #1: Yes, yes, it’s the “implication” but specifically what does he do?
Person #2: You know—
Person #1: It sounds like you don’t.
Person #2: Because you’re not letting me finish.. Look, I’m ten years older than him, I’m not giving him free rides, nor providing free counseling sessions for him to come up to me and call me “sport” while doing dance moves in return.. You—
Person #1: But he can’t—
Person #2: No, he can help it, he has a girlfriend, he.. probably hasn’t even read the second amendment and he owns guns.. I’m not saying—
Person #1: Then what are you saying..?
Person #2: That unless you can prove to me that his individual life “misfortunes” are all “my fault”, then you can say I’m “wrong”.. I am just so—
Person #1: Don’t curse please.
Person #2: Oh.. you don’t understand, you don’t understand at all.
Once the shift ends, Person #2 becomes gunned down by an assault rifle, then he tries to take the gun away while forgetting he’s a ghost. Then, the young man who he tried to warn others about rides off with his weapon.. Well, what can ya do..?
