(Hello everyone! Please forgive me if my grammar isn't the best, but this idea has been driving me nuts due to reading too many Land Before Time stories. A big shoutout and a big thanks to Marblesaurus's Metempsychosis story for the inspiration for this idea. I've edited this chapter and have taken out a lot of cussing, I think its discouraging people from reading it. chapter 1 is a bit short but I promise the next chapter will contain alot more! ^^)
Chapter One: You're fired.
"...WHAT?!" "I'm sorry, but I had no other choice, Jeff..."
"..But.. I've worked hard and have always been on time!"
"I know you're a hard worker.. But..."The man sighed in regret. "..You've got anger issues."
"Anger issues my arse, it ain't like I harmed anyone, oh sure I may have exploded a few times, but I still did my job!"
"I'm sorry, but my decision is final, please pack up your things along your way out."
The man said before returning to shuffling through a pile of papers on the desk.
"...But its going to be Christmas, do you real-" But before I could speak any further, I was interrupted by my boss, Jack... Or maybe I should name him Jackarse for the time being.
"Please leave before I call security.." The boss asked. Anger rose within my mind, I wanted to slam my fist down and protest, I wanted to give Jackarse a piece of my mind.. I let out a long sigh and calmed myself down.
"I hope karma bites you in the arse." I said and left Jackarse's office, returning to my own work desk, I began taking my things out of drawers, putting them in my leather backpack.
"Sorry to hear what happened.." I looked up to see my work buddy, Danielle, he was a male Spanish friend I've known ever since I started working here. I only replied with a sigh and ignored him, I wasn't in the mood for small talk.
"Hey.. maybe you'll feel better on Christmas, presents and gifts, eh?" He asked with a friendly grin. I looked up at him with a questionable look. "Yea, maybe..." I said dead pan... Christmas might make me feel better temporally, but it won't be a cure for everything. Jobs were currently limited for the time being, I highly doubt a few gifts from my friends and family is gonna do any good, not unless one of those gifts was a job by some miracle... "Hey, I know what'll cheer ya up. Let's head on over to your place, maybe grab some bot of beers and order pizza!"
Danielle suggested. I paused for a second, I did love pizza, plus I could really use a drink, it'll help me forget this Freaking mess. After packing up my things and headed to my car, I gave my friend a ride to the nearest store that sold what we want, we grabbed two six packs of bottled bear, next we headed on to my home. Now, my home wasn't really impressive but it was a lot better than living in a motel or an inn. Eventually, we arrived at home, I parked my car in the garage and locked it up, I headed to the living room while my friend ordered pizza via his cellphone.
I popped open the first bottle and began drinking it, I turned on my TV where it was playing mostly Christmas specials, me and my friend mostly chatted on what's been happening lately, I had gotten the fireplace going as the night drew near, bringing along the cold of winter, I guess at one point my friend left to head on home, his house was next door after all. A few bottles later as I felt the buzz, I was pretty drunk at this point, twelve oh clock was drawing near as the Christmas special was announcing it was going to go off air, I heard the channel's host wishing us a merry Christmas. I stared in disbelief as I was quickly reminded that I was fired from my job today, I was on my last bottle of beer and I just finished it "Merry Freaking Christmas my arse!" I yelled before throwing the bottle into my fireplace, causing it to flare up and spark violently. I went and got myself a few blankets, it was just to cold tonight to go sleep in my own bed, so I decided to sleep on the couch in the living warm where it was nice and warm and moments later, I drifted to sleep.
