The Jokes on Me- A Joker Story

Gloomy Gotham (Chapter 1)

I always thought I'd amount to great things in life or have some kind of a goal to set for myself in life but in my whole 21 years of living it seemed I'd amount to nothing. I lived in one of the worst parts of Gotham where crime was the highest but of course rent was the cheapest. I lived with a friend, her name was Grace, she was great easy going, chill and friendly. She worked in a nicer part of Gotham at a bakery. Me? Well I just worked in a sleazy run down bar that where your typical low life scum would come to drink and get drunk be loud and start fights and flirt with almost every girl in there which weren't that many.
The job was the worst part especially when creeps are trying to show their interest in you and all you can do is politely turn them or God forbid a fight would break out, not to mention finish late at night in one of the worst parts of Gotham was such a joy...yeah right.
All I wanted to do was just escape and find a purpose to do something like be successful or something like Bruce Wayne for instance a young man whose got a billionaire status and he's only a few years older than me. How can you be so successful at such a young age??
Anyway back to current times I'm just about to head off to work and of course I'm not looking forward to it, it's utterly shit. As I'm about to head on my way Grace calls my name "Hey Haylee get your ass in here look at the news!" Grace exclaims.
And yet another helpless victim had been caught at the hands of the Joker, wounds to deep to treat and a smile painted on his face this has been the one of many attacks. If anyone sees or comes into contact with this man please call the GCPD as soon as you can. Stay safe citizens.

Grace just had a horrified look on here face "How can someone do that??" She said surprised, I rolled my eyes "Have you only figured out now where we live? Shit likes this happens all the time,I'm surprised were not dead already considering where we live" I said crossing my arms grabbing my jacket. Grace looked at me "Be safe getting to work okay??" She said worryingly "I'll be find Grace don't worry" I said opening the door, oh did I mention it's the middle of fucking winter?? Yeah it's freezing outside. As I walked down the slippery, dark,gloomy roads of Gotham I managed to make it alive to work. As soon as I walk in my boss yells at me "Ye late" he has in thick New York accent "Have you seen what it's like outside? I wasn't going to drive" I said looking at him a bit annoyed "Just open the bar for business will ya? I got some very big customers coming in tonight" he said seriously "And by big customers you mean criminals right??" I said correcting him "They got the money I ain't gonna turn em away this bar needs the business it can get" he said in a worried voice "Look Fred you're not exactly doing the bar any favours by inviting criminals to it, why can't you just re-launch the bar instead?" I said while sweeping the floor "Where do you think I'm gonna get that kind of money from? Look if this night goes well they said they'll pay real good so you know turn some charm on and dress you know..." He said suggestively "Dress like what?" I said giving him a glare "A bit sexy, wouldn't kill ye" Fred said annoyingly "Fine but I want a raise after" I said stubbornly. I hated my job as it is now I have to dress provocatively just to make some extra money.
"There should be some clothes in the back I remember we had those girls in singing on stage go find them" he said twiddling his thumbs. I rolled my eyes and proceeded to head to the staff area. All of these dresses were too small or too big but then finally I found a decent enough dress to where it was an dark purple dress quiet classy and sexy. I put it on and it just fits along with some black heels as I came back into the main bar area Fred was just opening up for business I was behind the bar making myself a drink Vodka and Coke and hey I deserve it if I have to put up with some creeps for the night. God knows I'm gonna need more than one to get through tonight.
