That Cheated Feeling
It was decided that instead of having Biffy make all of the costumes, they would be rented from the Eastern Costume Company. Naturally, Biffy was less than happy. He was feeling cheated. After work, Biffy vented his anger at this. Where was he venting? Where else? At Basil's house!
Basil's house was an unlucky place. Whenever one of his co-workers were angry it would always be his home that his coworker would vent their anger. He really had to buy a new house and not tell any of his coworkers where it was.
"I've been working at the studio for six years! How can they do this to me? Haven't I always designed good costumes?"
"We only have seven hundred thousand dollars, can't waste it all on the payment of one person." Poor choice of words! Biffy ended up throwing a bookshelf at Basil that flew past him and instead hit the wall. "My cousin made that with his own hands!"
"Better reason, Basil! Give me a better reason!"
Basil's eyes started to dart around the room. A better reason… What better reason could there have been? Was there a better reason? There better have been otherwise he'd be losing more furniture.
"Uh, have you ever had a vacation? You've been working for six years, during any of those six years have you ever had a vacation? I don't recall ever seeing you not at work! You're just A. Nigma studios latest busybody aren't you? Take a break, have a life, fall in love! You have a better chance than I do! Look at me I'm even more ugly than the man in the moon now! No girl, no woman will ever love me… You have a chance, Biffy! Take it!"
The anger in Biffy's eyes over being cheated vanished. The tone of Basil's voice, the voice of a person who had given up on love spoke to him. Biffy smiled and put down the couch he was holding. Truth was the only thing in Basil's words. It was surprising what fear could do to a person.
"I guess you're right. A vacation could be nice." Biffy walked over to the pieces of the bookshelf Basil's cousin had made. He picked them up and walked towards the door. "Uh, I'll fix this while I'm on vacation." Basil held his head in his hands as he leaned against another bookshelf. "And Basil, don't give up on yourself." And with that, Biffy left Basil's house.
Don't give up on himself? How was Basil to do that? He had become the kind of person pretty girls didn't write to.
