p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler paused, just having shut off his car when pulling into his drive way. He spaced out for a minute, then looked down at stared at the bruises on his arms. It was in an obvious place, just below the elbow. Someone inside was bound to see it. Unless he covered it up. God, it felt like he was hiding scars. Going to work felt like suicide anyway. Yet these scars weren't self inflicted. They were abuse./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler got out of the car, grabbing his bag to take inside with him. He closed the door and locked the car, it beeping for a second. As he walked to the door. He pulled down his white sleeves, which only went down enough to cover half of the bruising. He shoved his hands into his large pants pockets, trying to cover the rest. It was all he could, even when a small bit could be seen. He'd need to rush out of sight to get away./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler walked inside, closing the door behind him and covering up his bruise again. The living room was dark, and no light came from the kitchen. Nobody was up. Tyler let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, his arm no longer hidden. Walking down the hallway, he went into his room without causing much noise. Inside, he placed his bag on the floor and took off his blue jacket. Sitting on the bed, he looked at his bruise and yawned./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"br /"I'm not going back tomorrow. Fuck that." He said with heavy eyes./p

He could hear the TV playing in the other room, but everything else was silent. Silent and peaceful. But then, one moment, his phone made a small chime. A text./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler gave it a thought then frowned.

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" On a Wednesday afternoon, right before the normal dinner rush, the Chinese place they went to was quiet, which only two other groups of people there eating. Tyler had his plate of Americanized Chinese food and walked back to the booth where Kyle and Shelby were just at, already having their food and digging in. Tyler scooted into the booth beside Shelby, the two sitting across from Kyle./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Kyle looked at Tyler when he saw Tyler's plate. "You got enough to eat there?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler paused and looked at their plates. He had twice as much food as the other two did./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm hungry Kyle what else am I supposed to do?" Tyler replied. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""When was the last time you ate?" Shelby asked, grinning. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I had a snack when i woke like two hours ago! I havn't eaten after that since last night and all I had was a bag a Cheetos."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You're job is messing up your eating schedule." Kyle said./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's not healthy, yeah, i get that." Tyler sighed. "But It's not a huge bother to me." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okayyy." Shelby sighed. "But if we see you getting any skinnier then what you are right now then that's gonna need to change."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""'K, Mom." Tyler said and stuffed his face with food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"There was a pause, then the conversation continued./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""So how's work for ya?" Shelby asked. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Good." Tyler said with food in his mouth. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""With hours like that?" Kyle asked. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's not that bad. You've just got to get used to it." Tyler swallowed. "I mean millions of other people have the same hours. I'm not alone."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's just something i'd never do." Kyle said. "Not unless the job was absolutely perfect."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""He sits around in a park watching cameras all night. You don't have to wait tables or care for children or anything. I think you've got it made." Shelby sighed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Eh. Well." Tyler tilted his head. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah. And you get $100 a night too. What's the deal with that?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well it's not easy for them to sell a job like that. It's creepy as fuck at night there, even when nothing actually happens."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""If you keep that job for as long as you live you'll be making more than people who've gone to college, saying that they end up in places like McDonalds. That's 500 a week. god." Kyle felt a bit jealous. Tyler was only just a child./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler frowned at the thought of working at Team Crafted's for the rest of his life. Hah. What a joke. The job would kill him before he's be able to stay a year. Bashur only worked three months. That's about 14 or 15 weeks, which means Bashur made about $7,500 working there. Tyler began to do the math in his head. 52 weeks in a year, times 500. That's $26,000 annual salary. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What's a good annual salary for someone living by themselves?" Tyler asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Kyle and Shelby looked confused, but then they thought about it./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'd want to say around 40K to 60K." Shelby answered./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh. Well I make 26K. I think." Tyler thought aloud./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""For living with your parents you don't have the right to complain." Kyle sighed./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm not complaining!" Tyler shook his head. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You said it was a creepy place and shoved off the thought that you had it made." Kyle yawned, taking another bite of his food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well I don't have it made if I want a higher salary i'll need to step up my game sooner or later. And that place will give you nightmares! seriously! at night it's like a horror movie!" Tyler defended himself. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I don't disbelieve you." Shebly sighed. "Honestly, though, it's got to be better than babysitting children. Sitting in the office is all you do, right?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Basically, yeah." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Nothing else? Wow." Kyle said./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well. There is a power problem to keep an eye on. I can't just go and fall asleep until dawn." Tyler added. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What kind of problem? Can't it be fixed?" Shelby asked. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm sure it could be, but Mr. Aviator isn't doing much about it." Tyler answered./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"" ? Is he your boss?" Kyle asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""No Kyle he's my mother." Tyler said sarcastically. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh so whose the woman at your house everyday?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""My sister! God, get your facts straight, Kyle!" Tyler laughed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Anyway..." Kyle turned back to his food, taking another bite. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Will you have recovered enough from your sleeping habits to hang out again this weekend?" Shelby asked Tyler. "You arn't working weekend nights then , right?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""That would be illegal, i think." Tyler sighed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Good." Shelby smiled and turned back to her food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler took and bite and chewed down some of his food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""So how are your weeks going so far?" He changed the subject. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"-...-/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler looked through the notes he had taken when he went to visit Bashur. He was glad he went to see Bashur. He ended up needed some of it to save his own life. He was sitting at his computer desk, back at home, the time being 6 PM. He'd need to get some more sleep before his next shift. That was, if he was going to go back. He didn't want to. Not at all. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh. That's right!" Tyler suddenly gasped. "I was supposed to call Bashur when i got back last night!" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler suddenly jumped around, trying to see if he wrote down a phone number in his notes or not. He didn't. Man. But he could look up the hospital's number and forward a message. He did know Mr. Green's room number. He found it and put it into his phone, waiting impatiently for the call to be picked up. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Memorial Hospital front desk, how can i help you?" A woman's voice picked up. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yes, is it possible for me to leave a message for a patient?" Tyler asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"The woman paused. "Yes, may I ask their name?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Bashur Green." Tyler said. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler heard the flipping of pages in the distance. The woman then replied. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""He's not up at the moment. Sleeping. I can't forward you to him but I can let you leave him a message."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""That's alright." Tyler sighed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay. When you hear the beep, you can say your message, and then hang up. Thank you for calling~"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Thank you."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"there was a beep. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Um...Hello, Bashur. Sorry I didn't call when my shift ended. I wasn't thinking about it. I'm alive though. And your tips helped me out alot. In fact, they saved my life. I can't thank you enough. If you have anything else, seriously, please call me back."

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler placed his phone on the night stand, sitting back on his bed. He yawned. He needed to get sleep whether he was going back or not. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em Tyler pulled her around everywhere that day. Right now they were heading towards Jerome's playground. Tyler was about 7, and had the biggest eyes a child could have. He had on a t-shirt with a rocket-ship on it and a red jacket. When they got there, they saw the Jerome animatronic, standing by the play ground, smiling and speaking./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"D-Dont forget to take y-y-your shoes off before you g-g-get on the play ground!

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Mom can you help me?" Tyler sat down at pointed to his shoes, which were tied in a knot. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Sure." She knelt down and helped the boy take his shoes off. She held onto them, watching him scramble up to go run off into the playground for the smaller kids. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Be careful!" She smiled at him, but he was too occupied to care. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em The dream went on to play more memories. Tyler was now pulling his mother over to Mitch's arcade. His mother stood behind him as he played many different games. He never got the top score on them. Not at this age. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Mom, look!" /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em Tyler had pulled her over to the counter where you could win prizes by cashing in the tickets you got from the games. Something had caught his eye there. It wasn't a cheap plastic toy or candy. It was something on the top shelf, It was a silver key with the words "top score" on the handle. It was amazing in craftsmanship. It cost the most though./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"I'm sorry, sweetheart." His mother sighed. "You don't have enough for that." /em/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"I want it!" Tyler shook his head. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"emHis mother sighed. "Maybe if you keep getting tickets you could get it."/em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"emTyler sighed and looked around. He had already played all the games. How many times would he need to play them to win the key? Far too many for a boy his age. His mother saw it disappointment./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"If you keep saving all your tickets each time you come, you'll get the key in no time." She said. /em/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"emHis mother softly grabbed his tiny hand. "I'll get you something at the gift shop if it makes you feel any better? Then we can go out and eat pizza tonight? How's that?"/em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Can we go to F-F-F-F" Tyler had a hard time pronouncing the name,/em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"We can go to Freddy's." His mother sighed. It wasn't the highest quality pizza, but it was cheap and Tyler and his siblings loved it there. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Yay!" Tyler grinned from ear to ear. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em The dream skipped to later in the day, after they had walked out of the gift shop in Sky Hub.

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Oh. Okay." They then continued on until Tyler stopped again. When his mother turned back to look at him, he had the funniest of faces./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"What's wrong?" She laughed./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"I need the bathroom!" He whispered to her, looking down./em/p

He ate some cereal, brushed his teeth, changed into his work clothes, and made sure he had all this things ready for the night. By the time he had to leave, he was still pretty sleepy. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler yawned. Why was he returning? Why was he giving no thought to it? Each time he goes, there was a chance he wouldn't return. He's known that since the moment he returned from the first night. And yet a strange force lead him to return each night. It was almost like he was hypnotized. /p

He spaced out for a minute, then looked down at stared at the bruises on his arms. It was in an obvious place, just below the elbow. Someone inside was bound to see it. Unless he covered it up. God, it felt like he was hiding scars. Going to work felt like suicide anyway. Yet these scars weren't self inflicted. They were abuse./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler got out of the car, grabbing his bag to take inside with him. He closed the door and locked the car, it beeping for a second. As he walked to the door. He pulled down his white sleeves, which only went down enough to cover half of the bruising. He shoved his hands into his large pants pockets, trying to cover the rest. It was all he could, even when a small bit could be seen. He'd need to rush out of sight to get away./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler walked inside, closing the door behind him and covering up his bruise again. The living room was dark, and no light came from the kitchen. Nobody was up. Tyler let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, his arm no longer hidden. Walking down the hallway, he went into his room without causing much noise. Inside, he placed his bag on the floor and took off his blue jacket. Sitting on the bed, he looked at his bruise and yawned./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Eh. Well." Tyler tilted his head. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah. And you get $100 a night too. What's the deal with that?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well it's not easy for them to sell a job like that. It's creepy as fuck at night there, even when nothing actually happens."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""If you keep that job for as long as you live you'll be making more than people who've gone to college, saying that they end up in places like McDonalds. That's 500 a week. god." Kyle felt a bit jealous. Tyler was only just a child./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler frowned at the thought of working at Team Crafted's for the rest of his life. Hah. What a joke. The job would kill him before he's be able to stay a year. Bashur only worked three months. That's about 14 or 15 weeks, which means Bashur made about $7,500 working there. Tyler began to do the math in his head. 52 weeks in a year, times 500. That's $26,000 annual salary. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What's a good annual salary for someone living by themselves?" Tyler asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Kyle and Shelby looked confused, but then they thought about it./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'd want to say around 40K to 60K." Shelby answered./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh. Well I make 26K. I think." Tyler thought aloud./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""For living with your parents you don't have the right to complain." Kyle sighed./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm not complaining!" Tyler shook his head. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You said it was a creepy place and shoved off the thought that you had it made." Kyle yawned, taking another bite of his food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well I don't have it made if I want a higher salary i'll need to step up my game sooner or later. And that place will give you nightmares! seriously! at night it's like a horror movie!" Tyler defended himself. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I don't disbelieve you." Shebly sighed. "Honestly, though, it's got to be better than babysitting children. Sitting in the office is all you do, right?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Basically, yeah." /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Nothing else? Wow." Kyle said./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Well. There is a power problem to keep an eye on. I can't just go and fall asleep until dawn." Tyler added. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""What kind of problem? Can't it be fixed?" Shelby asked. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'm sure it could be, but Mr. Aviator isn't doing much about it." Tyler answered./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"" ? Is he your boss?" Kyle asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""No Kyle he's my mother." Tyler said sarcastically. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh so whose the woman at your house everyday?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""My sister! God, get your facts straight, Kyle!" Tyler laughed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Anyway..." Kyle turned back to his food, taking another bite. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Will you have recovered enough from your sleeping habits to hang out again this weekend?" Shelby asked Tyler. "You arn't working weekend nights then , right?" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""That would be illegal, i think." Tyler sighed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Good." Shelby smiled and turned back to her food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler took and bite and chewed down some of his food. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""So how are your weeks going so far?" He changed the subject. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler looked through the notes he had taken when he went to visit Bashur. He was glad he went to see Bashur. He ended up needed some of it to save his own life. He was sitting at his computer desk, back at home, the time being 6 PM. He'd need to get some more sleep before his next shift. That was, if he was going to go back. He didn't want to. Not at all. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Oh. That's right!" Tyler suddenly gasped. "I was supposed to call Bashur when i got back last night!" /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler suddenly jumped around, trying to see if he wrote down a phone number in his notes or not. He didn't. Man. But he could look up the hospital's number and forward a message. He did know Mr. Green's room number. He found it and put it into his phone, waiting impatiently for the call to be picked up. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Memorial Hospital front desk, how can i help you?" A woman's voice picked up. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yes, is it possible for me to leave a message for a patient?" Tyler asked./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"The woman paused. "Yes, may I ask their name?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Bashur Green." Tyler said. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"Tyler heard the flipping of pages in the distance. The woman then replied. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""He's not up at the moment. Sleeping. I can't forward you to him but I can let you leave him a message."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""That's alright." Tyler sighed. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay. When you hear the beep, you can say your message, and then hang up. Thank you for calling~"/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"there was a beep. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Um...Hello, Bashur. Sorry I didn't call when my shift ended. I wasn't thinking about it. I'm alive though. And your tips helped me out alot. In fact, they saved my life. I can't thank you enough. If you have anything else, seriously, please call me back." Tyler said, leaving his phone number as well. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Thanks again."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"He hung up after that. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Tyler placed his phone on the night stand, sitting back on his bed. He yawned. He needed to get sleep whether he was going back or not. /p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em Tyler pulled her around everywhere that day. Right now they were heading towards Jerome's playground. Tyler was about 7, and had the biggest eyes a child could have. He had on a t-shirt with a rocket-ship on it and a red jacket. When they got there, they saw the Jerome animatronic, standing by the play ground, smiling and speaking./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"D-Dont forget to take y-y-your shoes off before you g-g-get on the play ground!

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Mom can you help me?" Tyler sat down at pointed to his shoes, which were tied in a knot. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Sure." She knelt down and helped the boy take his shoes off. She held onto them, watching him scramble up to go run off into the playground for the smaller kids. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Be careful!" She smiled at him, but he was too occupied to care. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em The dream went on to play more memories. Tyler was now pulling his mother over to Mitch's arcade. His mother stood behind him as he played many different games. He never got the top score on them. Not at this age. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"Mom, look!" /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em Tyler had pulled her over to the counter where you could win prizes by cashing in the tickets you got from the games. Something had caught his eye there. It wasn't a cheap plastic toy or candy. It was something on the top shelf, It was a silver key with the words "top score" on the handle. It was amazing in craftsmanship. It cost the most though./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"I'm sorry, sweetheart." His mother sighed. "You don't have enough for that." /em/p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"I want it!" Tyler shook his head. /em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"emHis mother sighed. "Maybe if you keep getting tickets you could get it."/em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"emTyler sighed and looked around. He had already played all the games. How many times would he need to play them to win the key? Far too many for a boy his age. His mother saw it disappointment./em/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"em"If you keep saving all your tickets each time you come, you'll get the key in no time." She said. /em/p

Each time he goes, there was a chance he wouldn't return. He's known that since the moment he returned from the first night. And yet a strange force lead him to return each night.
