The future is untold.
Life Goes On.
After the incident that happened in your complex, you continue on with your life as best as you could.
A few more similar incidents also happened, some fights you one others you didn’t and paid double the price. You continue living inside of the homeless shelter making your room more homely and secretly installing another lock onto your door for security.
By this time however is that you had run out of cash that you had saved up from the orphanage and the money you stole from that uptight prick. You did however grab the guys family photo just to spite the stupid bitch.
You also got quite bored inside of the complex every day so you decided that you could crush two birds with one stone and decided to get a job, you of course came to Los Angeles in the first place to get a job and start living anyway.
You applied for multiple different low end jobs and got a few requests to come in for a interview and you through you could finally catch a break but like all good things nothing lasts forever, as soon as you went in and started the interview they replied with we have better people for this and you won’t be a good fit.
Do you left every job with more and more sadness and anger but you finally got a job as a waiter in a nearby restaurant that offered very low pay but you could deal with that because it was money after all and you were living in a rent free shithole.
For the next year you spent every back breaking moment working your ass off for the restaurant making sure that everyone felt comfortable, people at the restaurant were sceptical of you at first and it only got worse.
First there was you always getting blamed for anything that went wrong, if there was a spillage in the kitchen you did it. There’s a table not cleaned your fault and if a customer complains about anything your the problem.
Food is too cold, you didn’t bring it out fast enough. There food is too hot, you brought it out too early without permission. You took all of the grief because it was money. You needed money to survive.
Day in day out, same shit over and over again especially your manager he was the worst, a bald male who is stout and bulky. He was well liked by the patrons of the restaurant all showmanship and theatrics but to his staff he was a grade A ass, he recently docked your pay for the day and took away the small amount of tips you made because he fucked up on paperwork and blamed it on you.
-present day-
You arrive at work through the back entrance the walk from your complex to the restaurant was tiring so you went in the best of moods, you entered and walked into the staff changing room to your small locker. You go to it and open it only for a bunch of crushed beer cans to fall out.
It seems that the manager again had used your locker as a trash can, you take deep sigh and kick the cans away and but your bag in the locker.
You close your locker not needing to change clothes as you arrived in uniform, you made your way to the main floor and started your shift by wiping tables. Your fellow employees are tending to the bar and sweeping the floor, you look at the clock and notice that there is 5 minutes before the rush comes in so you rush your tables and clean all tables in record time.
You go to the kitchen clean out the rag you were using then you go behind the bar while some of the other employees serve the tables with cutlery and glasses, that’s when the manager comes in and starts inspecting the room. From checking the floor by his boot and looking at the bar by sliding his finger across it.
He see’s you standing there cleaning the glasses and sneers at you then he checks the charter and views that you were charged with cleaning the tables, he then goes over to the tables and uses his finger to swipe at it and feels that it is still a little damp from you recently cleaning it.
Then he shouts stop and causes everyone to look at him including you to see what is going on, he rubs his fingers together to justify his action and then looks directly at you and points.
Manager: “is this establishment not mean anything to you!”
You look surprised by his accusation and look at his perplexed.
Manager: “you clean half arsed and leave then ‘soaking’ with the cleaning fluids , that can contaminate the food and cause **** you bastard!”
You: “what do you mean? I cleaned them properly and followed the procedures stated”
You again are very surprised by these actions not only that but the customers have started coming in to eat and you are getting shouted at by the higher class of LA, the manager crosses the room and jabs you in the chest.
Manager: “all you have done here is fuck up after fuck up and think you can get paid, that is enough you are FIRED!”
You stand there still shocked, in a matter of minutes you went from standard cleaning employee to fired Ex employee. You try to form word in your mind but nothing comes of it and you decide to storm back to the changing rooms however you do throw the glass at him which hits him on his nose breaking from the heavy glass.
You get changed and then leave through the back door and walk to the side ally of the restaurant and sit there against the wall with your head in your hands.
Back to square one yet again, you got a decent size pay saved up but that will run out quick with nothing to fall back on, this was the final straw for you. The constant shit luck with a bad life of misery and then public humiliation in-front of people. Life really sucks for you.
You are just about to call it quits and head home when you hear noise next to you, you look up to see a man has sat next to you and somehow snuck up on you without you noticing.
The male is a old man looking about 70 or 80 give or take, he wears and nice three piece suit and he wears black shaded glasses implying that he is blind.
He had slicked back grey hair and a well maintained grey beard, he simply sits there looking at the floor and smiles.
???: “That was quite the chewing out you had there, lad” He says in a low smooth voice
You: “I guess you could say that, not me at my best I’m afraid I’m other day I could hold my own but today well that’s another question”
???: “I feel your pain my boy, I know what it is like to be treat with disrespect and insulted for my innocent actions” he replied as if quoting a book.
You: “I don’t think you know just how hat I get it old timer, things just don’t work out for me in my life.”
???: “old timer? Ha! That’s a new one and you would be surprised my boy at just how things were back in my day. Tell me though where are your parents?”
You: “I’ll give you the run down, I’m a orphan since birth, no parents no siblings or even a pet to call my own. Grew up in a shit situation that lead to my state now as a homeless and now unemployed hopeless dope.”
???: “I see, well it seems that me and you are not so different after all, it seems that you and I are very much kindred spirits living the same life in a way.”
You look at the man from your position and see he is not looking at you, well I won’t call it looking since he is blind but he is ‘looking’ at you as if he can see you.
???: “ I’ll let you know something about me, I have outlived all my family. I’ve buried my wife and children and their children and even their children after them.”
You think to yourself, that would make him 300+ years old unless his family died a tragic **** and cut their life short.
You: “tell me this then, why do you look at me as if you can see me if you are clearly blind?”
???: “I don’t need to have eyes to see you my boy, when life takes away the ability of sight. You will always find other ways of seeing things.”
???: “but let me give you something son, it seems that life has been cruel to use as it was to me however I’m getting old and I don’t have anyone to give my fortune to you so as a good luck charm, take this.”
You look over at him as he takes of a very expensive looking ring that was made of gold that was neatly engraved with animals of all types, at the top of the ring was a medium size amethyst. That was glowing when on the mans finger but once taken off goes black as coal.
He gives you the ring with a open hand, you look at the ring and are taken back a bit then slowly reach out and take it into your own hand, it feels like the ring is a small sun as it heats up your hand immediately.
You: “what is this and why are you giving it to me?”
???: “First it is a specialised ring made by a very kind man, this ring has been handed from the less fortunate to the less fortunate. The ones that life has abandoned get to have a gift like this to make their own way in life.”
???: “as for why it’s because I am getting old and have longed for peace, but I have not been able to find one of a similar fate to my own, until today. Like what my patron said to me when he handed me the ring ‘When Life Turns it’s back on you, you pull out a knife and stab it in its back until it’s dead’ very harsh but what we have experienced we deserve any chance we can get.”
Just as you were about to ask more questions a black limo pulls up outside of the ally on the side walk and the back limo car door opens, out steps a absolute bombshell.
She is a tall 6,1 with DD-Breasts and bright blond hair, she has green eyes and red lipstick and a thin waste. You feel your pants tighten for some reason as you stare at her.
She was wearing a black suit and black high heels, she then speaks with a sultry voice.
Blond Bombshell: “There you are sir!, we have done everything as you have requested and are waiting for your orders. If you please enter your limo we can continue our schedule back home and the this evenings schedule aswell.”
You are literally shell shocked by how this has ended in this situation, such events are very rare and that someone showed you such kindness and also gave you a expensive ring for a lucky charm!
You: “wait! What am I supposed to do with this ring?”
???: “you can keep it as a lucky charm and hope it brings you the supposed luck, you can throw it in the nearby trash and forget this ever happened. Hell you can give it to another guy that walks past, its your ring now not mine do what you will but if you give it to another person then I will never be yours again, that man will then live out his wildest dreams while you wallow in your sadness. However I’ll give you a hint, put it on and you live out your wildest dreams and just see where it takes you. I look forward to see what you do with it hopefully before a move on.”
And with that final word he slips into his limo with the bombshell right behind, she stops however and looks over while giving you a wink and then closes the door and the limo drives away.
You get up to your feet and pocket the ring thinking about what just happened, you need to sleep on this whole debacle.
What to do?
Making Your Own Luck.
Luck always has a part.
People say that money makes the world go round, there is some truth to that statement. Some work hard to get their money and survive, others are born into that position of power and money while the lucky one here and there win big and gain favour. Not you, you are not in any position or have any power and one one day you go through another bad day only for it to change your life forever.
