You see George, you really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?
"You're watching this again?" your older brother, James, grumbles as he opens the front door to your shared apartment and sees you sitting on the couch shoving popcorn in your mouth. "You do know it's only August, right?"
"Yeah," you nod, not letting your eyes leave the screen. "But I like this movie. It's-"
"I know," James cuts you off and you can feel his eye roll from across the room. "It's a 'classic'."
You pause the movie and look over at him, "What's that supposed to mean? Don't you think it's a good film?"
"Sure," he sighs, setting down his stuff and walking over to the small kitchen. "But you watch this movie any time of year. Why not wait until Halloween and watch it then, too?"
You groan as you reach for the remote and once more continue what you were watching. It's not long after that James comes over, sorting through the mail as he sits beside you. "Anything interesting in the post?" you ask, glancing at him quickly between handfuls of popcorn.
"Huh," he replies, piquing your interest.
"'Huh', what?" you say, putting the bowl aside.
"It's a response."
"Ooh," you say, getting a closer look at the envelope. "You think you've actually found a stable job, James?"
"Oh shut up, you," he laughs, swatting at you with the letter before going back to open it. You wait with bated breath, hoping this isn't just another rejection. James has been struggling to find a job ever since graduating high school. And since it's just the two of you, well, there's just that much more pressure on him.
"Who's it even from?" you then question him. "What'd you apply to this time? Gonna go shake some ass at Chix N Dix," you begin to laugh.
"No!" he snaps, glaring at you. "I met this guy... Black, he said his name was, a few weeks back. He offered me a job on the spot but I really didn't think he actually meant it."
"Really?! And you didn't tell me?!"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" he groans. "There was something off about him, I've got to say... I mean, if he wants me then he's got to be desperate."
You roll your eyes at your brother's comment. He always was smart. If only you had money, he'd thrive in college. "Huh, well the letter does look strange... Open it."
James does. But just after he rips the seal, the letter forms into a mouth and begins to speak. Immediately, you let out a scream and grab onto him. James laughs at you as though he's seen this happen a hundred times before.
"I-Is this normal to you?" you ask, gulping hard to still your nerves.
"I must be tripping so hard right now," he shakes his head.
