Worst Monday Ever

An Injured soldier was running recklessly through the jungles to outrun the big Orc which was chasing him. He ran to a small rundown stable situated near a cliff on the outskirts of the jungle, thrust open the door, and got into the stable. There were a few drums that he rolled to the entrance to block it. The drums were heavy and filled with a foul-smelling liquid.

As he was trying to get the third barrel, he heard the Orc coming closer. He held his breath and became a rock not moving a single fiber of his body. He heard the footsteps go around the stable and just when he thought that the thumps of the footsteps started to faint.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

"Son of a…. He is gonna destroy the whole thing"

Orc started breaking down the back door of the stable and the whole building started to shake.

Adrian abruptly woke up from his nightmare but the banging on the door didn't stop.

"Who is knocking down my door," said Adrian and looked at the clock.

"It's 3:13 for God's sake", Adrian got up from his bed and started walking towards the door of his apartment and when he was about to cross his living room he stopped.

His conscience told him to grab the baseball bat that he keeps under the couch in the living room. He laid flat on the ground and picked up the baseball bat and then moved towards the door. He looked through the door's peephole.

He saw a policeman and opened the door after hiding the baseball bat behind the door. "Yes, Sir...what is it...Is there any problem," Adrian asked.

"Oh, sorry to wake you up at this hour son; you know her, is she your neighbor ". Adrian looked down where the policeman pointed to a girl passed out on the ground near the next door to his apartment.

"Is she okay Sir!"

"I think She is fine just had a little too much to drink...These girls don't know their limits," the policeman said. Adrian was very confused and his brain wasn't really functioning and before he knew this lady was crashing on his couch cause apparently, she lost her keys.

Adrian was tired to the core because he was working all day due to a deadline on a big order. "I can't even have one goodnight's sleep, Gooood just kill me already," Adrian said in frustration and anger cause the past few weeks have been hard for him. He is an excellent employee and works his ass off and does everything all the way down to the tiniest details. His work ethic brought him nothing but huge loads of work and surreal expectations.

"Umm….mmm...hmm oh man, where am I who the hell are you?" the girl woke up from her booze.

"I...I'm your neighbor, are you okay"

"I feel sick BBLLAARRGGHHH"

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! You just did not vomit on my new rug; you just did not aaaah", Adrian just bought this rug like a week ago and his pain and agony reached 99999. The girl passed out again after spray painting Adrian's new rug.

Adrian is a preacher of cleaning he is a bit wackjob about keeping things clean and everything should be in its place. You can say he has a little OCD about keeping things in order.

He grabbed one of the corners of the rug with tears falling down his eyes, rolled it, and carefully placed it into the laundry basket he didn't want anything to drip.

The whole place smelled like vomit. Adrian opened a few windows and while he was looking for the room freshener he heard his door-knocking again. It was a guy from the reception with the key to the neighboring apartment. Adrain took the key from him and wished him goodbye, even though he wanted him to help move this drunk entity from his couch to her apartment.

Adrian unlocked the door of her apartment and went to pick her up. As he approached her, he hesitated from touching her cause she was sweaty, she had vomit on her clothes and he really didn't want to get his clothes dirty. So Adrian went to his laundry room and picked out yesterday's clothes and put them on.

After that, he again had to go through the mental resistance of picking her up but he wanted this girl out of his sight as soon as possible. He picked up her like he was Shrek and she was princess Fiona. As he entered her apartment Adrian's pupils enlarged to the limit.

"What the…..HOLY SHIT!! how can someone live like this", Adrian almost screamed after encountering the ultimate Demonic scenery of her humble dwelling. The whole place was filled with dirty clothes, cans of beer, bottles of alcohol, broken plates, cosmetic stuff a lot of it scattered everywhere like pixie dust. There is just soo much mess and you can google the world's messiest room to have a better visualization.

Adrian was furious Shrek now, he navigated his way to the bedroom.

"Oh My Fucking God, how can this place be even more messed up than the living room". Adrian had never witnessed this much chaos in his life at the same time. There was absolutely no place on the bed.

"Where do you even sleep there is not enough space even for a hamster", Adrian is very close to losing his shit. He is in the ultimate awe that how a living human being can live like this.

"Even Dogs clean their place before their lay down", Adrian said to his unconscious neighbor.

The bed was already at its full capacity. He knocked down a heap of clothes and made enough space to place her body. Adrian was in tears as he moved out of the place as quickly as he can.

lris woke up after she fell from the bed after taking a turn. Her head was throbbing with cruciating pain and she had a tingling sensation in her nose which didn't go away as she tried to rub it off.

She stood up with utmost effort and panicked at the sight of the spotless room, it felt like her room but didn't look the part. She was feeling sick and this clean room with nothing scattered on the floor and managed desk, bed with no heap of clothes, no used tissue papers on the nightstand made it worse.

Iris got out of the room because it was given her heebie-jeeibies. As she was walking down the hall she saw a man standing on the sink, she almost let a scream out.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! What do I do," Iris started hyperventilating but her panic converted into anger soon. She gathered enough courage and constructed a plan to take down the wild boar with the speed of a lioness. She tipped toed halfway through the living room and hid behind the dining table. As the lioness stood up with a chair as her stall, her iron deficiency kicked in rendered her feet useless and the lioness fell down to the pits of hell with a great roar and an even greater thud followed.

"Are you… Hi… what are you… Okay??" Adrian said as he saw Iris fall and moved toward her to help.

"Don't come any CLOSER, I will scream If you hurt me, I will I will-"

"What are you saying I am your neighbor, Adrian," Adrian sort of screamed at Iris who was lying on the ground using a chair as her shield.

"You are my neighbor?" Iris asked but her tone was too high-pitched.

"Yes!"

"Why did you break into my house, I will... I will report you," Iris couldn't comprehend the situation and started crying.

"Uhh…I am here to just help," Adrian said with a very sweet and soothing voice to calm her down and make her feel less threatened.

"Why are you helping me?" Iris calmed down a bit but her defenses were still high. Adrian picked up the chair and then gave Iris a hand to get up but she stood up on her feet without Adrian's help.

"Do you remember anything of last night?" Adrian asked as he took off the apron he was wearing. "Ohhhh shit…Umm did we… you know," Iris made a finger in a donut sign with her hand.

"NOOOOOO!!" Adrian suddenly rose his voice and a shiver went down her spine. "I would never do such a thing in a dumpster pit like this," Adrian scoffed.

"Did you call my apartment dumpster! Look around how clean it is… clean?" Iris looked around and holy shit her apartment was clean as hell. "DID YOU CLEAN MY APARTMENT?" Iris couldn't believe her eyes and her rational brain functioning stopped.

"Of course I did! How can you live in such horrible conditions? Shit was scattered all over the place. Food was rotting in your sink, when was the last time you did your dishes? a year ago."

"What does that matter to you," Iris was angry first this guy broke into her house and then he CLEANED the whole apartment! The audacity of this guy. "What does that matter? Seriously, there was an insect infestation in your top right corner cupboard because you left the peanut butter open."

"I know that, I called insect-killing people a month ago but they didn't pick up my call," Iris said in her defense.

"A MONTH! You are telling me you knew there was infestation a month ago and all you did was one call?" Adrian was furious.

"I called them like a few times…" Iris said with a puppy face.

"REALLY few times, you are a failure as a human being," Arian said in a way that struck Iris's ego.

"Who gave you fucking right to call me a failure, I didn't ask for this! Get the fuck out of my house," Iris shouted at Adrian. This was not a reaction he thought he'd get after cleaning her whole apartment, Adrian had fire in his eyes but he drowned his fire, took a sigh, and moved out of her apartment.

He thought to himself that It wasn't her fault that she liked living like a dung beetle but still, it was beyond his understanding of how can a human adult live in conditions like this. And to imagine that a person who lives like a pig; to be his neighbor Yuk! Adrian's disgust was through the roof.

Iris sat down on one of the chairs and rested her head on the shining white dining table."This morning is worse than a Monday," Iris said out loud and then fell asleep again on the dining table.
