Work

*BEEP, BEEP, BEEP...*

'Is it morning already? I'm still so sleepy' I rolled over in bed, too lazy to get up.

I'm still on vacation, I can sleep a bit more.

I'll sleep a little longer, just five more minutes.

...

...

"FUCK" I got up quickly as I remembered the day before.

'Where is he?' I asked myself until my eyes found Alfa lying down.

"I'm glad it wasn't a dream," relieved, I sat back down on the bed.

I'm very happy, so much so that a smile can't help but appear on my face. It really wasn't a dream!

I reach down and grab my cell phone from under my pillow to turn off the alarm clock. That noise is really annoying.

Looking at the time, I realize it's 8am.

Deciding to start the day early, I get up and stretch to make my body feel lighter.

"That's strange," I couldn't help exclaiming as I realized it.

I'm awake but Alfa isn't, shouldn't he wake up too?

'Something like lookism?' I remember Daniel saying that when one of his bodies was awake, the other slept.

Mine could be something similar, but different. They can both be in use at the same time, but it's possible for one body to sleep and the other to be awake.

To tell you the truth, I haven't even thought about this possibility, so I'll have to add it to the list. Besides, I have to do more research into all this.

That's for later, of course, for now I have things to do.

"Wake up Alfa" I called to him and pushed him awake.

After a few seconds he woke up and sat up.

*Alpha yawned as he stretched.

"Good morning," he said as he stood up and stretched.

"Morning

Now that I realize it, isn't it a bit strange that I'm talking to myself? I feel that all this is similar to the clones in Naruto, it's the closest ability to my situation that I can imagine.

"You make the beds while I open the windows and clean the floor" Without waiting for an answer, I went off to do my chores.

The tasks were divided equally: I had to clean the house while Alfa tidied up and made the food.

Of course, doing all this in silence would be boring, so while we cleaned I put on some music for us to listen to on my JBL.

"What kind of music do I put on?" I asked Alfa from the living room/kitchen.

Although the house is small, it's still big enough for one person. It has 1 bathroom, 1 bedroom and a living room/kitchen.

It's unnecessary for us to talk verbally when our consciousnesses are connected, but hey, where's the fun in that?

Besides, I've been alone for a long time and I used to talk to myself, so it hasn't changed much from before. It just seems less strange now that 'I' am mastered.

Okay, now that I realize it, it seemed a bit sad.

"How about some pagode?" He replied.

Sure, that's a good one. Who doesn't like a little pagode, right?

With the music playing in the background, we continued cleaning. The music wasn't loud, not loud enough to disturb anyone.

After a while I finished cleaning the floor and the furniture, as I live alone there isn't much furniture so I finished quickly.

Alfa is already making the food, he's finished organizing everything.

"What are we eating today?" I ask as I put the cleaning products in their places.

"Rice, beans, egg and salad"

I've never been very fussy about food, but I've always liked eating meat, so not having to feed myself is now a problem.

I have to sort this out quickly if possible.

"Take this garbage out while I finish up here," Alfa pointed to the garbage bags on the side of the door.

I nodded, put on my flip-flops and went.

After leaving my apartment, I closed the door and looked at the view I had of the corridor in front of my apartment.

My apartment is on the third floor. There's an extremely beautiful view from here, the day is sunny and cloudless, from where I'm standing I can see people going about their lives and cars passing by.

'Has it always been this beautiful?' It seems to be more beautiful than usual or have I never noticed the beauty before?

I never really paid attention to things because I was always busy. Of course I noticed the beauty in things, but it was never as beautiful as it is now.

I never expected to have a life, I always thought that the way I was living would be the way I would live forever. Perhaps all that was missing was hope.

Alfa brought me hope that things could change, that everything is more magnificent than it seems.

I think everything will change now... no, I know things will change.

'Fuck I'm so fucked up now'

I couldn't help but imagine myself with a serious expression looking at the view.

Coming back to focus, after taking out the garbage I went back to my apartment.

Alfa had already finished cooking and we were eating. It was relatively early, still 11:30.

During lunch I thought about what I could do to earn money and even did some research and came up with a few ideas:

1. Earn as a freelancer.

There are websites where I can sign up and earn money as a programmer, video and image editor.

There are also offers for Designers and Animators.

2. Become a writer.

Write a book or make a manga. I can become independent or seek a contract with a company.

3. Make a company or app.

Instead of becoming a freelancer, make my own brand or app.

In general, these are the quickest ways to make money, based on the fact that they depend on me.

All of these options depend on me, so the better and faster I do the job, the greater the chance of getting money.

But there's a small problem.

"You don't know any of this," said Alfa as he ate.

"Hey, stop messing with my thinking," I replied to myself.

Actually that was just a way of lightening the mood, I'm feeling a bit stressed thinking about all this because it's really true, I don't have any skills to become autonomous.

I spent a while thinking about all this, and by a while I mean about 30 minutes, during which time I was thinking while arguing with Alfa.

After a while of serious thinking, I came to a conclusion.

"I'm quitting"
