It was a lovely day in Essex. Rainy and overcast, and not very warm, probably about 39 out.
It was October first, 1999. Benita "Benny" Luanne Chavez-McDonalds had just recently moved to England from Chicago. It had been a very easy move for her. She was 20 on the dot (the day before had been her birthday) and her parents didn't really give a damn if she was in the house or not.
Benny's birthday gift to herself was a new future. So she'd left her little apartment and moved to England, and hadn't told a soul.
She then decided she needed a job, especially considering the currency she was using wasn't from Europe. It was American money and she couldn't very well purchase anything with the wrong currency.
So Benny sat on the bench, looking at the new newspaper. She flipped through until she found job listings. Almost immediately, she found an ad that sounded perfect for her:
"Someone who knows how to do paperwork wanted. Not much experience needed. Kong Studios, Essex, England."
Short , sweet, and to the point. Benny had in fact had lots of experience with paperwork, she had been at the top of her English and Typing courses, and the early business courses she'd taken in high school.
Benny got onto a bus and took it to the bottom of the steep hill.
God, what a weird-ass building! She thought to herself. It was tall, gray, and had a dome for a roof in one place. And the land around it was filthy and…JESUS, what was that smell? It was like spoiled wine, poo, septic tank, fish and rotting flesh, all mixed together to form a badly-mingled stink salad.
But Benny had smelt worse. So she made her way up the hill, to her future.
