Episode 1: Would You Like Fries With That?
"Frank, I'm leaving for the night, you coming?"
a woman with long auburn locks called to her co-worker. She threw her apron in the closet next to the kitchen.
"Can't you wait until I finish cleaning my utensils?"
A tall man, also young, about 18, looked out from the window to the kitchen where the waitress would place the order. It was a small diner, and the kitchen seemed to take up over half of it. The woman put her arm in the sleeve of her beige pea coat.
"Frank, you've been cleaning that damned spatula for an hour straight! If it means that much to you, then come in early for once!"
she said with a giggle while putting the other arm in the jacket.
"You should know me by now, Anna. I'm never early."
Frank answered coming from the kitchen, but leaving the door open. He picked up his backpack from the counter and walked over to Anna who was at the front door. She opened the door and walked outside. He immediately started to follow when she stopped him and said,
"Keys?"
He rolled his blue eyes at her and slowly paced back to the counter. Just then the front door slammed shut and they heard the click of the lock. They both eyed the door with confused looks. Anna tried pushing the door. When she realized it was locked, she gave Frank a silent signal to come and unlock it. He tried to turn the lock, but it was as stuck as if it was glued. He pulled hard on the handle, not expecting much of a result. The pair signaled back and forth to each other through the transparent door and used all their might to get Frank free from the diner. Starting to get frustrated, Frank bowed his head to think. Immediately behind him stood a butcher's knife, floating in mid-air. Open mouthed from loss of words Anna stood there, staring at the silver blade. She pounded on the glass, making Frank lift his head. She pointed behind him and mouthed something he couldn't quite comprehend.
Turning at Anna's gestures, Frank came eye level to his freshly cleaned knife. As the knife moved forward Frank began to realize what his friend had said to him. "Watch out for that knife!" Blood splattered the glass as the corpse slid to the floor. Anna, still with a shocked expression on her face, watched her co-worker and close friend as the light faded from his eyes.
