Chapter 1 - Getting a job

(LITTLE THING BEFORE YOU READ 'WORDS IN INVERTED COMMAS LIKE THIS ARE INTERNAL THOUGHTS' "AND WORDS IN DOUBLE INVERTED COMMAS, OR WHAT EVER THEY ARE CALLED, ARE DIALOGUE, HANCE SPEAKING AND TALKING, THAT STUFF" [AND WORDS BETWEEN THESE BRECKETS ARE PLACES AND THINGS OR INFO])

'Everyone has a Special thing about themselves, you can call it a talent or a special trait, it can vary from person to person, in Doman city and around the world, people have achieved great things, be it having angelic voices, lifting trucks and buses like gym equipment, having amazing artistic expressions, telepathy and telekinesis, whatever a normal human can exel in, everyone in [Doman city] does, just better, not just Donan city, the entire world too. And it's not Earth, we had to leave earth for Mars, but then we left Mars in a few hundred years, with nothing else to do, sixteen humans were put in highly advanced pods, four pods were shot in each direction away from the sun, god knows what happened to the other twelve humans, as for the four shot east , two split and didn't make it, the other two made it to a planet that was habitable, the two were Jack and Karen, and what did they call the world? It was named -Drum roll please- Earth two! Creative, i know.'

'Just kidding, Jack named the planet, he called it [Hiragi], he was a huge fan of Japan, i am too honestly, it's the only place that's been replicated here, although, I'm not sure if Hiragi means anything, not that is matters, Earth had absolutely dumb names anyway, especially for some of the phobias. Believe it or not, after Jack and Karen landed, there was only one major crisis that put humanity on this planet on the extinction list, and that was Karen! She was as women as women could be, with extra dumb mix into her honestly, she did not like Jack and just because of that she didn't want to bring humanity back! What saved us all was a [Hirophant], a six legged carnivorous elephant that almost had Karen as dinner, Jack, the awesome chad he is, saved her at the cost of his own leg, which made her fall for him, still find it stupid that it took a near death experience and a leg to make her realise her mission. Well after that, human stuff happened, two humans became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen and so on, and because of the world being UNIQUE humans developed great talents! Unlike me, I'm weak, not as bright as i want to be and hardly making do with my life, far from success and even further from happiness. If below aveage had a name it's me, Denial Shoto, i curse my parents everyday for this damn name!'

'As for my upbringing, it's nothing special either, i grew up, went to school, did absolutely well in school, passed with the highest grades only to be left with no job for a whole year, for that whole year i watched as the love and kindness from my family broke into frustration and anger, and now, in the year 1208 of Hiragi Foundation, day 20 of the 10th months, the last day of the month since the days here are 36 hours long, I am still absolutely unemployed and searching for a job like a dog hunting another dogs butt. I am truly, utterly, Below average. While my younger sister became a Idol and my older brother a Tycoon owner. Well, that doesn't matter, tomorrow is the beginning of the new year, and also the day i get back to work, Searching for work that is. That being said, i can probably watch a few more [Muzetube] shorts. There's still 5 hours before the third twelve strikes! That's midnight by the way.'

'Am i depressed? Yes! Am i taking therapy? Nope! Do i want help like that? Hell no! Is that stupid? Absolutely! Will i change? I have not the slightest idea of what the hell I'm doing, and changing something you don't understand is a huge risk, so no! Do i have an interview tomorrow? Yup. Am i exited? Half half. I should just sleep, i finally have an interview after thousands of rejections, i mean, i wouldn't want to hire my self either, i am the definition of unhandsome. Ugly doesn't even fit. Oh, and you haven't even gotten a look at me yet, man am i mysterious! Well, there's a picture of me somewhere . . . Yeah, somewhere, I'm not going to find it, i got to sleep.'

'Aaaand just great, a nightmare! Guess you get to see my fit after all.' Wearing a Black Mike shirt and plain black shorts, i wake up on a large rock, something like a alter used to offer people up to unknown gods used by Earth a very long time ago, long time ago is an understatement. I got up and off that rock and glanced around, only for multiple plums of fire to blind my vision, like I'm not confused enough! "The hell is happening!" 'Yeah i finally spoke, my voice is average too.' As my vision returned back to me, i was left in pure shock, my parents and my siblings were infront of me, all of them numbered by the hundreds, yelling things I can't understand, like cave men type yelling, but they aren't yelling at me. I turned around, my eyes laid upon a damn suit i hadn't ironed with the words, 'We reject your application' written on it with red ink, i screamed in pure fear, jolting awake. My first instinct was to check the clock. It's only four in the morning, great, i can't sleep with that thought in my mind. 'I mean, yeah, who said an interview would grantee my employment. I've got to look presentable at least.' I dug through many clothes, found my suit and ironed it with a mothers care, hoping it would bring me luck with this interview, and I never even explained the damn position, I'm going to be a cashier! And finally move out of this damn apartment my mom rented out for me, it's nice, yeah, but damn am i tired of her calls everyday on the home line, it's set to auto answer and I don't even know how to turn it off! I should take a bath.'

Stepping in the shower, i tripped on a bar of soap conveniently places right by the door, curse my luck and lack of clanliness! I quickly stood up and slammed the door shut, grabbing the bar of soap and putting it where it belongs before cursing it out like it was the reason why i fell, 'i mean, it is, yeah? Not like me forgetting it on the floor is the problem. Don't correct me.' as i took my shower, i contemplated my life, after the shower i stared at the mirror for a while, trying to understand my self and finally the time has come! I wore my suit, ate a bowl of cereal, and went out to the interview. 'it's a long ways from here, but not far far, i could probably walk it. The time for the interview is eleven o'clock, and it's barely eight . . . I'm walking, even if i regret it.' my first step, i almost caught a orange cats tail under my heel, it hissed as my foot got closer to it, i got startled, jumping back like it would. The cat ran away, so i just continued on with my day, though i wondered 'Where the hell did that come from? No one owns a cat here. Life as a cat must be amazing, just walk up to a human and act cute and boom, your given a home and free food . . . Although you have to loose some pretty great things after a while . . . Not worth it.' The walk continued on for two hours, finally I arrived at the Donaldson fried chicken, or DFC, inspiration very evident. The building looked small from the outside, that at least boosted my confidence a bit, as soon as i entered, i was left astonished, it was huge! Too many tables to count by a glance and packed with people, my confidence tanked immediately, i was left blank for a second before my mind remembered why i was hear- 'here, damn. My confidence is definitely gone, jesus. It's English not my confidence, to hell with it, damnit!'

The stuff to get into the interview was pretty simple, tell the desk man your here for an interview, they'll tell you to wait somewhere and soon they'll tell you to head with someone or they'll call you to the back, in my case, i was called to the back, which is a terrible thing for me because this now feels like entering someones room and you don't know them, Truly the awkward moment. The interview was basic, they asked the basic questions, why did apply here? What can you bring to the company? Where do you live? Are you willing to relocate?, What is customer service?, What would do in what what situations?, How do you handle pressure? All that basic stuff you know, even though i know what they are gonna ask, i still find a way to trip on my own words or sound like I'm lying, hell, sometimes i hardly believed my self. After the interview, it's the trip back home, the nerve filled trip, anxious if your getting the job or not, but well, I've already had many rejections, and a lot of it were over calls too, so it's fine, even if this one fails, i can still find another one 'I've been telling myself that for a whole damn year! Like hell the next one will be the one! This world only declined into looks, if you don't look good you don't get anything good! That's just how this damn world works!' i took a taxi back home because i wasn't going to walk the whole way with those damn thoughts.

When i got off thr taxi i stepped onto the orange cats tail, i immediately fell back into the taxi, the driver looked back, confused. I apologized with a hand gesture as i got out, this time watching my step, as i did, o realized the cat hadn't responded, as i looked closer, it wasn't even awake, feeling guilty i picked it up, looking at it with curiosity. It's eyes are open! But barely, its . . . Dying? . . . 'damn, not me though, tuff luck little one, your on your own.' wish that was true, i found my self unconsciously carrying the cat back into my apartment, before i knew it, i had designated a whole corner of my apartment to the cat and nursed it best i could, i even fell asleep next to it, at least i bathed before i did.

The next day rolled over faster then the last one did. As i woke up, my phone rang loudly in my pocket, tired and still sleepy, i answered in a rude tone, "What? . . . Oh, sorry, I've been getting a lot of spam callers, your number was regarded as one too- Ah, yeah, that's me . . . Thank you . . . Yeah that's fine . . . Ok. You too." The call ended, with my head low i walked over to the bathroom, from outside the apartment complex, a very loud scream was heard, that day, the rumor of the [Morning Ghost] was born!
