"..."[???]
".....ey"[???]
"Hey!"[???]
"Ah, sorry boss I spaced out.." I gave an apologetic smile to my boss as he gave me a mocking look
"come to my office later" He looked pissed
"sure boss"
Ah, I'm in trouble though I don't know what I've done wrong, honestly, too many things have happened to me these past few days...
I gave a long sigh before going back to my work
==========================
"Ah finally I'm done" I stretched my back as I look at the clock it's almost 9:00 pm my shifts about to end, and with heavy steps, I walk to my boss's office.
*knock* *knock*
"come in"
"boss"
"ah, you finally came"
the moment I walked in I was greeted by the scent of alcohol along with his disdainful look.
as I try to take a seat he stopped me as he said the words I never expected.
"no need to take a seat, I'll make it brief. You're fired"
".....what?" I was shocked
"do I have to say it again, ok then you. are. fired. get it? now get out you're disturbing me" He was too lazy to explain
"but why? boss, I don't remember doing anything wrong.." I was always on time and I didn't make any mistakes at work so why?
"done nothing wrong? kid think back didn't you messed with someone you shouldn't?" he finished counting a stack of money and looked at me
I try to think back what has happened this past few day only to remember my love of life being intimate with someone else on our bed, ah the wound was cut open again.I hate remembering that scene her moaning and panting like an animal as she was taken from behind by some rich kid I didn't even know.It was the biggest blow I've received since my parents passed away, and thanks to that I swore to myself that I will never love another woman ever again.

"Boss I really don't know what you're talking about" I really don't remember doing anything wrong
"The person from the top said you've messed with HIS woman, is that true?" he said as he played with his alcohol bottle
Ah, it finally made sense, and the fucker actually emphasized the word "His".
I was shocked and could only stay silent
"Now finally do you finally get it? here's your last pay take it before I change my mind"
He threw a white envelope, after catching it I went back to my office, took my stuff gave my table one last look before walking out of our respected workspaces. As I exit the building my ex-co-workers gave me a pitying look but that's all no one actually talked to me afraid to be the next to be kicked out.
==============================
I opened the door to my apartment 2 rooms,1 kitchen, and 1 bathroom pretty decent when compared to other apartments but that's not important right now, I look at the same anime posters at my room before looking at the mirror. Unkempt black hair, bags under my eyes and finally that award-winning smile Nah just kidding I'm actually frowning.
"Well whatever at least there's someone uglier than me"
I try to comfort myself as I open my PC and order some takeout food from Chinese restaurant called Shunny's.
"You have received 1 Video file Sender Unknown" The computer's AI voice sounded
Hmm? a video file I don't know anyone who sends me a video file unless it's one of those ads or religious people asking for some donation oh well. I take a seat and open the video file when suddenly.
*ding dong*" Delivery for Mr.*******,1 special Shunny's Ramen", after paying the delivery guy, I sat back in my seat to watch the video.
It was dark at first but then I discover it was inside a room, wait what the fuck? this is one of those spy cams and there's a girl there undressing. Don't know why but she seems oddly familiar..and here comes the guy wait...is that? what the fuck?! that's the rich kid that took my girl then that means that girl is..FUCK! no wonder she looked familiar it is her, they seriously sent me a video of themselves fucking each other.

My body moved on impulse and punched my screen, "SHIT" after realizing what I've done that was the only word that came out of my mouth.
"hope the supermarket is still open" I mutter to myself as I look at my broken monitor and my bleeding arm.
============================
I was taking a shortcut on a dark alley after buying a new screen from that Rem's 24/7 Super Market. And as I walk I can't help but think back on what happened to me...
"what did I do to deserve this?..maybe it's better if I just kill myself let it all end" I said to myself as I look at the moon.
shit, this is bad, my depression and mental breakdown are kicking in.
"Stay positive, stay positive" I try to cheer myself up
As I kept on comforting myself I felt something cold go into my stomach.
Infront of me was a hooded man holding a knife with blood on it, I looked down instinctively only to see blood on the ground...Is that my blood?. I fell on my knees then onto the cold hard cement only thinking
'is this how my life is going to end? fuck I didn't even have 1 good thing happen to me' after that I closed my eyes and let the and breathe my last.
===============================
"where am I?" I ask myself as I open my eyes to see a dark gloomy cemetery filled with wailings and screams of pain, agony, and regret.
"you're in the underworld kid" a voice from behind me, I looked back only to see a skeleton..a reaper?
"yes kid, I'm the reaper here to take your soul......hey ain't you afraid?"He looked at me as he tilted his head
"no, not really" honestly I'm already dead, what's there left to fear?
"huh, interesting, hey kid got any regrets?"
"hmm..regrets huh well I never really got to erase my uhm collection from my PC and I never got revenge on that bitch and that rich asshole"
"lemme look into your memories.......that's just messed up why would they send you a video of them...ah forget it, well kid don't worry that rich kid will get AIDS sometime in the future and die because of it, same goes for the woman, happy now?"
"a little bit"
"hey"
"yeah?"
"want some alcohol?"
"wait? why?"
"to be honest I'm going through the same thing as you, I've been dumped by the angel I've loved for 7,000 years"[???]
"wow"
"I know right? she exchanged me for some flashy archangel"
"but how about me going to hell or heaven?"
"forget that It's boring in heaven and are you a masochist to want to go to hell? tell you what have a drinking session with me and I'll help you get reborn in another world whaddya say?"
"what world is it?"
"A world of magic and swords, didn't you anime lovers always wish for this?"
"Deal"
I shook my hand with his boney hand and after that he pulled me to God know's where and drank like there's no tomorrow...
