These Fatal Nights

Chapter 1

Looking for jobs is harder than people think. There's a whole process to it that include applications, multiple interviews, calling back to see how it went. It's all long and stressful.

"Lennox Monroe?" The receptionist says my name, her voice sounding more stiff than when I first got here. But I still walk up there with a smile on my face.

"Hi Ms. Monroe, if you could just give me your application, you can head through that door right there and Mr. Vizio will speak with you now." I hand her a copy of my application along with my resume and head to the room with the big V engraved on it.

This is my 4th interview and I'm pretty sure, this is the fanciest office I've ever been in. When they said the Wavelength Nightclub was high class I thought they were kidding. My mother always told me no matter what job you're applying for always dress to impress. Thank God I listened to her this time.

Before I open the decorative door, I stand for a good 30 seconds preparing for rejection from yet another job. Carefully planning what I'm going to say, three long breaths, and open the door to find what future awaits me.

When I open the door the office almost looks Gothic, red and black walls with very dim light. I almost feel like I'm part of the Undead.

" Are you Lennox I presume?" Mr. Vizio says with a giant smile on his face. It's almost as if he's too excited and yet his demeanor seems rather calm as well.

It seems like he's a family man with a picture of wife and kids on his desk and several other photos of his kids playing playing sports while having little trinkets displayed in front.

" Yep that's me! Hi nice to meet you sir!" I said the kindness voice I can muster I don't want to lose this job I don't even have it yet and it seems great already.

The interview going as most do where at one point he grabs a contract out of a locked drawer.

" I like you Ms. Monroe. Now, I do have several other interviews to do today, but I would like you to to sign this contract for working with us just in case you are our top pick.

Nothing major, just the basic laws where you understand that we are an at will hire, we can fire you for any reason, yada yada yada."

I've seen some of these types of contracts before, my job before this had me sign one when I got hired. Although I am weary it almost seems like I can trust him.

" Absolutely!" I say as I grab the ink pen sitting in front of me.

If I had known where this would have taken me, I would've taken more than just 30 seconds to think it over.

"Wonderful! I think we are done here for the day, I will give you a call personally within the next few days to let you know how this went!" He say stand up to shake my hand

We say our goodbyes and I walk back out the charcoal door. There's a different woman sitting at the receptionist desk now picking up several papers from the floor.

She turns to me and gives me a way too enthusiastic smile "Have a wonderful day Lennox!"

Confused, I wave to her and walk out the door. Let the adventure begin
