2. sketchy company.
"uhhh, grandma! wait for me! " as I was in the middle of admiring... wait admiring wasn't the right word it's more like shocked about the advertisement that this company put out.
it's not a stretch to say if all 360° around me is FILLED with advertisement for ONE game, the money it cost has to be insanely expensive to even advertise half of what's around me.
"MaNny! you little shit, come here before you're lost to the zone! "as I heard the familiar screech of my grandma echoes to my right side, I was suddenly pulled out of the road and inside of the antique shop.
as I recover from that pull, I saw where I am standing is countless of leaflet that seemed to advertise the game just fall out of the sky hitting the ground with a THUD, and here I am still doesn't know what the games name even is... what a shit advertisement.
then a hand goes into my pocket and grabbed my wallet "Is tHis uselEss waLlet Can be A subStitute! " my grandma said in a shrill voice.
another voice replied, this one is extremely deep like a kfc frier "of course that can be done miss?..."
"MaNny! " she called out my name as I'm in the middle of shock and disbelief.
"wha-" i respond half mindedly but was cut out by a mysterious man voice.
"of course that can be done miss erulia, thank you for your purchase... I hope we will never meet again. " the man said a hint of pity on his voice.
"jokes on you! I'm visiting every Friday you moron! " with that said grandma dragged me through the old shop as my mind was left reeling on what's happening, countless of question popping into my mind as it fates was to be stored deep into the recess of my mind to be analyzed later.
then a question hit me like a ton of truck... my money... WHERE'S MY MONEY!! my money that I painstakingly gather for 6 years is gone to waste as my grandma just throws it onto a random ass antique shop.
"GRAndma!! my money!! where's my money!! "I screamed but my scream are lost within the very crowded place we were in, crowded? where are we?!!
"I sold it for some kush, if you have any problem with that I'm kicking you out. " grandma said that as in one of her arms there lay a box, and in another one lay the back of my shirt getting dragged by her.
"wha-! how am I gonna pay rent then?!! " I screamed as several gruesome scenario sprouted in my head.
"MaNny! I'm the owner of the apartment you live in! " my grandma said trying to mimick a meme she saw online.
"now isn't the right time to reference breaking Bad grandma! how can I eat food now?! " I said panicked as all of my stuff is in there including my driving license!!
"MaNny! just shut up or I'll castrate you into a woman! "she said shutting me up until she throws me into a passenger seat, of course in pain I screamed in confusion.
then the taxi that I was in suddenly moved, the engine below me roar in anger as it suddenly wakes up from its long slumber.
as I stood there in confusion trying to absorb the influx of information hitting my brain, suddenly I got an epiphany, I checked my phone for the news.
[MONEY IS MEANINGLESS. US DOLLAR NO LONGER HOLDS ANY VALUE!!!!!!!!? ]
[the causes of inflation is because of a video game???? here's how a video game destroyed an entire generation of capitalism!!! ]
[mysterious video game developer prints money, left everyone with too much money?!!!!!!! ]
[US DOLLAR TANKED!!!! NEW CURRENCY IS MONKEY JPEG??????????? ]
well... I still don't know what's going on...
ah! here's an actual informative article!
[stuff happens today... I hate my job]
[by: an actual informative article]
today, you all must be wondering "did the whole world goes insane? " well my answer to that question is yes... very much a yes.
on morning today on Friday there are an influx of advertisement from out of nowhere, researchers are left baffled as the town is completely and utterly filled with an advertisement for a video game.
the video game in question are called "change online " in the leaflet it stated that "the game is an mmorpg where your body feels like your real body! " we are still left in the dark as no one from our research department are able to make sense of the word written.
and another leaflet also stated that "the world will be changing!! " it is still unclear of what the message meant.
and... that's it, honestly despite of all of the weird stuff happening now, it's not that bad once you see the light at the end of the tunnel... hey! this job isn't so bad after all.
...
well that wasn't helpful, but it's something.
as I processed the thing that just happen, suddenly the taxi I was in stopped, a mysterious force suddenly pushed me out of the taxi, making me stumble onto the street in front of the apartment I live in.
"ouch." is the only thing I can say in response of the impending headache and pain in my body.
I slowly stumble into the apartment, the bright yellow wallpaper greets me as I stumble onto the lift, as I got into the lift I sat down on the floor thinking about what just happened in a very quick succession leaving me reeling from all of the events that happened today.
first after I got home from school, my grandma hold a gun, then I quickly defused the situation by inviting her to a antique shop she talked about everyday, then a countless amount of advertisement about a video game appears everywhere somehow causing the us dollar to become a worthless paper, then... then what? I... don't remember? after that event that I definitely do not remember, my grandma is buying a drug??? using my money, then I got to a taxi and then... I got home? ugh... what a terrible day.
and I got to work on a night shift... what a pain, maybe I'll just not work now.
then a notification sounded on my phone.
[ellie- hey manny the boss is holding a meeting about the currency problem, go to the cafe at 8 pm, wear casual clothes]
now it was currently... 5 pm, so I have about three hour to rest.
[manny- ok]
I'm not in the group chat because I'm not a full time worker in there... well I don't know if other company have this standard because this is the first company I work, and it's because the distance is short from my apartment.
honestly the company have a very weird and downright stupid rules sometimes, but the pay is good so I'm not complaining.
I was standing on the lift alone as the music started to play, this creepy and childish tune started to play out making the whole ride unbearable and what's making it worse is that all around me are mirror making it looks like a set piece for horror movie.
I look at the one lift door, which is covered in mirror as I see my own reflection, an androgynous person with a short black hair that reached my shoulder covering one of my eyes with a bang, a loose shirt with an unclear figure that leaned towards the feminine side, the side of my face is covered with hair and with my face that can be easily mistaken is a recipe for disaster, my eyes are colored deep purple as it reflect on the light of the lift creating an eerie sense of dread while the person in question sighed HEAVILY.
I didn't even want to glance below my waist as its very apparent why I always wear a baggy pants.
how the hell did I not noticed this... as I left contemplating my existence, the door lift opened as I walked into my room, the hallway eerily silence as only the sound of my footsteps echoed throughout the hallway.
then I opened the door, the sight of home greeted me as I crashed on a sofa nearby, the table near me having a gun and a bullet, an evidence of what's happening today is real.
I turned on the tv as I started to shower and change my clothes, the tv talking about what's in the future and bla bla bla something very unimportant that is necessary to at least make me feel not alone.
in my house there are the living room which is located in front of the door to my apartment, the living room has two door, one of them are the guest room and one of them are my bedroom, very simple and easy to remember, the guest room are very much for my grandma to sleep if she has trouble sleeping or just wanted company.
my room has a singular bedroom, the bed although really big is perfect for me as I like to trash around while sleeping, there are a shelves used to put books, and there are my wardrobe where I put my clothes and small amount of money in there... it's for an emergency purposes as I put most of my money in the bank.
in my room there are a bathroom, there are also another bathroom on the guest room, as I change I grabbed all of the money in the wardrobe... it's only 500 dollar but since it all just become worthless I'm putting the stacks of money in the wardrobe.
after putting my casual clothes I went ahead to shut down my tv.
"anarchy ensues in our small town, apparently the government has already been overthrown by a mafia gang named 'grannies kush' which has been responsible for spreading and using an unknown drug named 'kushy' the effects are similar to strengthening drug when consumed, but as there was little to no evidence to this information we deemed it false, however the rumor said that it looked like a blue ston-" okay that's enough news today.
