An Unforeseen Inconvenience
She slowly walked on the sidewalk, making her way to her apartment. Unfortunately for her, work meant that this was her normal routine. Her boss had been working her more and more. She was forced to work till the early hours of the morning almost every day now. And her days were often spent working too. She rarely got more than a couple hours of sleep. And that’s if she was lucky.
She didn’t usually walk this slowly and was the kind of person that always watched her back. She wasn’t stupid, she knew the world was a bad place and you always had to be careful. However, she was exhausted tonight and the crisp night air was refreshing. She breathed it in and took slow steps ahead.
As she walked, she started thinking of her job and her life. She often wished she had a normal job. One that she could tell her parents about. One that would allow her to be in an honest relationship. But circumstances meant she was stuck with this one. It was the only thing she was really good at. And this job and her boss saved her when she had nothing.
Perhaps she was distracted by her thoughts or perhaps it was the lack of sleep but she didn’t realise she was being followed until he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to turn around looking straight at him.
“Give me your money and no one gets hurt.”
“No.”
“What did you just say to me?”
“No.”
He lunged towards her with his knife and she quickly moved to the side dodging him and grabbing his wrist forcing him to drop the knife. She twist his arm and he screamed in pain as she swiftly moved behind him holding his neck. One rapid movement later there was a snap and she threw his lifeless body on the floor.
She hated when she had to do her job for free. Didn’t he know she got paid thousands for this? What an annoying unforseen inconvenience.
She shoved her hands back in her pockets and kept walking. More briskly this time but still enjoying the cold air.
