Before

Somewhere in America, in a small town, in a small office, in a small group, there's a sleeping man.

As he sleeps he seems peaceful almost like he's sleeping on a bed of happiness and good dreams themselves.

Nah he's just asleep at work

"-yan" I heard a voice call out to me as I looked around me. I had appeared here after attempting to stay awake during my shift at work. I looked around and it looked like a clearing with a forest circling it like a protective barrier. I had no clue how I got there but I decided to make my way to a nearby hill. As I trecked up this hill i couldn't help but notice how peaceful and quiet the clearing seemed to be compared to the city, it was refreshing.

I finally foujd the top of the hill and from there I was able to see over most of the trees, but it turned out that it was nothing but trees for miles and there it was again I could've sworn I heard someone shout my name.But surely that would be impossible after all i had seen nothing but trees for miles not to mention the clearing was big enough that i wouldn't be able to hear a person on the edges necermind deep within.

When suddenly the ground started shaking and I fell to the ground. I was struggling to get up so I decided to stop then, wait for the shaking to stop and after a while it did stop, I could finally stand up when all of a sudden it like I was just pulled out of my body and slingshot to another plane... a more realistic one, I was in my office at my desk... "Ah Sh*t"

I looked around shaken when I saw my boss standing behind me furious and as red as a tomato "DO I PAY YOU TO SLEEP HOLLAND" which was when finally I started to properly wake up and piece everything together I guess I had fallen asleep.

I was sitting there not quite sure what to say to defend myself considering i wasn't even sure what he had said when my Co-worker Devin gave me a quick nudge and jumped in "I'm sorry Jared he had been helping me take care of my mother she is sick and he came to her house to help late last night he must've been tired from it." Jared just stared and seemed shocked at this reason "Fine I'll let you off just this once. But please next time make sure u get proper rest outside the workplace."

Devin smiled as he turned to me "You'll have to pay me back for that. How about a MFC?" I shrugged and agreed he did just get me out of the bosses way and let's just say the boss wasn't exactly in a forgiving mood today I mean right now I can hear him screaming at the new intern. But I have better things to focus on like my date with Jess I can't wait it'll be the first time I went on one in years.

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈After the date≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

I never should have gone to that date it was a disaster. I mean who catfishs then asks to meet up the girl looked nothing like her picture but I decided to look past that and give her a chance... then it turned out, SHE WAS RACIST pretty extreme thing to not put on a dating website, and finally I was somehow cohersed into drinking until 3am with a random guy i met after the failed date when I had sobered up a bit as I had run out of alcohol money and decided I should probably go home. Luckily I'm a super heavy drinker so i wasn't too drunk but the date is over now, now I can go home and sort out my sleep schedule I 'worked hard' to 'maintain'.

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈The next day≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

Today I guess I'll treat Devin for yesterday and besides I have quite a bit saved up its not like he's gonna eat several hundred pounds of chicken I mean he has the body of an athlete. At least that was what I thought.

I walked home all my savings scraped from my pockets, Devin really likes that fried chicken I should probably talk to him about it its concerning actually I think ill need to get some tips on how on earth he's still that in shape with how much he eats. At least I got to rant about the sh*t show of a date yesterday.

As I walked into my house I was exhausted today the boss seemed extra mad and would shout at us for meaningless things like talking about our different projects or even if we just talked about the same project he seemed super stressed then when I asked him if anything was wrong I got told to mind my own business and to go fix certain bugs which other people had already fixed.

Well it's all behind me now cause I'm finally at my bed and can relax no more worrying its Sunday tomorrow so I'll be able to just relax...
