To Work

After stopping into the pawn shop, Richard makes his way over to Geegle.

After grabbing a fresh cup of Coffee he sit's down at his desk, right next to his long time best friend, Nate. Richard and Nate have spent so much time together growing up, they pretty much are the same person when it comes to a lot of things. Both of them love playing classic games on their Nintendo 64, or NES, in fact quite frequently still hung out and had LAN parties even though they could still play online most of the time. They wore single color dress shirts, blue for Richard, white for Nate, Jeans and dress shoes.

"Yo what's up Rich?"

"Nothin' much, how's the app lookin'?"

"Eh, could be better we've run into an issue with users not connecting to the database"

"Ugh not that agaaaiinn", Richard replied. He knew all to well just how painful it was to figure out why users couldn't connect to the database. Fixing these types of issues would take a couple days if not the week. The worst of it is that it was tedious boring work that everyone hated doing so, normally, it fell to Richard and Nate to do.

"I wish the day could be over faster so we could have this done", Richard said, absently touching the ring on his finger.

"Yeah, how much bet...", Nate was cut off mid sentence as Richard twisted part of the ring forward and it began to glow. Suddenly lights started flashing by his face and he realized everything was moving at sonic speeds around him until it stopped as suddenly as it started.

"I'm surprised we got that bug fixed today, you were like a speed _demon _out there fixing all those bugs today!", Nate exclaimed.

"Yeah...", Richard said slowly wondering what happened as his brain took in the information. He could remember what just happened with him being at one point in time, then getting to now, but he could also remember coding and fixing all those bugs. As Richard processed the new found information, he looked down at the ring and the glow from it was out completely. He tried turning it again, but nothing happened.

"Well, I should be heading out. See ya on Monday Rich."

"See ya", Richard said as he put on his jacket. He realized that his body was a little bit tired, more than it should have been. 'Maybe it's the ring', Richard thought to himself. With that lest thought he walks out the door, headed home.
