Stars

by Tachi Fujioshi

"Tachi wake up! You have to go." "But I can't leave you behind!" "If you don't we'll both die. Remember my star, no one can put out your light you just have to find someone who glows just as bright as you." She pushes her only daughter out of the burning building, the child cries. "Mama!" "Hey are you okay?" says Saitama "Yea, just another dream."

1. Chapter 1

Tachi! Tachi! Tachi!

She sits up abruptly, breathing heavily, sweating.

"7'o clock already."

She gets up pulling back her braids into a low ponytail.

"Eggs and bacon today with hmm…..." she says as she mulls over the lack of beverages in her fridge. Her stomach growls. "Okay, okay. I guess apple juice."

"Breakfast, done. Work clothes, done. Bag packed, done. Now all I gotta do is eat and be gone."

30 minutes later she's out the door. Walking out towards Z-City's outer limits, she has her headphones on.

"What is that smell, raw sewage? Gross."

She walks to the city limit and crosses it ignoring the monster that had just crawled up from the sewer. Continuing to her job she spots a group of people, boys shouting rude comments to any man or woman who walked by. Ignore them she says to herself.

Arriving at her job she clocks in and puts on her uniform, and says "Welcome to Starbucks."
