"(Y/n), clean out the women's bathrooms!"

I had been sweeping and mopping the floors as fast as I could, as my manager bombarded me with more work to do. My manager is a tall, buff, and intimidating woman with short red hair. She never skipped a beat without nagging at someone.

It's alright you can do this. Break is in five minutes.

I usually had to pep talk myself in order to get my day to go by faster. To be quite honest, I needed a different job, and sometimes I felt like quitting. I had such a hard time getting one in the first place, so I'd already talked myself out of that one.

I finished mopping the floor, and stepped back to admire my efforts.

Sparkly..

"It's break." My coworker, Yurim told me.

I followed him to the breakroom, passing by the section of the store that had been blocked off due to electrical issues. The lights, the freezers, and the signs were off. It gave me chills every time I had to walk by it. I shrugged off the chills running down my spine and found my locker in the breakroom. I noticed a strange person I'd never seen before standing in the corner with a lighter and a multitool in his hand.

Must be a new guy..?

I approached him, "Hey, are you new? Do you need any h--" Startled, the guy looked at me and took off towards the breakroom's exit door.

"Well that's.. weird," I said to Yurim, who had already begun digging into his lunch like a starved animal.

"He's probably just shy," he replied, with a mouth full of ramen.

"A shy guy with a multitool and a lighter? He wasn't even wearing a uniform." I crossed my arms and shook my head, pondering the "new guy's" real motive.

"He's probably fixing the electrical box over in Section B." Yurim said.

"Yeah..." Not convinced, I opened my locker and grabbed the lunch I had delivered to me an hour ago. It was a small cheeseburger and a side of fries. This is what I usually ate during lunch since I didn't really cook much at home to bring leftovers. I sat next to Yurim and took out my phone to check my message notifications.
