"Going anywhere tonight?" Cherry said, walking beside him.
"I wouldn't have time, I have to get up early tomorrow to file the paperwork and it's already 12:32, so if I want to get any sleep, I have to hurry home," Judah said, walking out of the building and into the crisp night air.

He walked into the train station, and bought his ticket.

I wonder if  anything interesting happened tonight.

By the time Judah walked from the train station to his house, it was 1:34

Jeez, how long did it take to get to the train station?

Judah took the keys out of his pocket, and unlocked the door. He lived in an old, one story house, alone. He had no pets, and lining the walls were pictures of him and his mother.

He went to the kitchen immediately, and looked in the fridge, taking out a carton of eggs.

It's the same thing every night.

He fried the egg, and went to go sit down in the living room. As he sat on his blue recliner, he turned on the television, and watched his favorite TV show, *TITANSHIP. As soon as the episode ended he went to bed.

That show isn't even that good.

"JUDAH!" His boss yelled.

What now?

"Where's the paperwork for the Porty account?!" He yelled.
"I'm finishing it right now," Judah said, pointing to the copy machine.
"It was supposed to be finished by 11:00. As you can see from the clock on top of the coffee table, it is 11:32. Mind explaining to me what happened?!"
"Sir, you gave them to me at 12:00 last night, and none of us come in for work until 8:00. We all have to finish the days paperwork  before we can work on anything else. That would usually take around all day, but as you can see, I came in at 3 in the morning to finish not just my paperwork, but also yours," He finished, picking up the last of the papers from the copy machine, "Also, you didn't tell me that it was due at any time."
"I don't care that you have to finish your papers first, one more screw up like this, and your fired," His boss said.

Asshole. 

He started to pack up his stuff and today's paperwork. Packing his laptop and putting his phone in his pocket, he started to walk out the door.

"Judah! Wait up!" Cherry yelled, "Going already?"
"Yeah. As you all heard earlier,  I came in early, and finished today's work. You done too?"
"Yeah, I started most of it last night, so I only had a little to do today. You wanna grab a drink before we head home?" Cherry said, smiling at him
"Sure. I wouldn't mind that."

Where is she taking me?

They had been walking for 45 minutes. As they walked, they could see many run down buildings and a worn down billboard that said 'Wraparound, the towel that wraps around.'

Coming across and orange tinted building, Cherry, finally turned left, into a doorway.

"Seat for two?" A waiter asked.
"Yeah, and one kid's menu," Judah said.

The waiter looked at him warily, before handing him a kid's menu and a pack of crayon.

As the waiter set the menus on the table, Judah started to open his kid's menu, and started to color.

"Why did you get the kid's menu, Judah?"
"I like to draw," he said, flipping it over onto the back side, and taking a pen out of his pocket.

He started to draw. He drew animals, mostly, and sometimes he would draw humans and airships.

"You're really good," Cherry said.
"Thanks," Judah said, not looking up.
"Would you like something to drink?" A waiter asked, holding a notepad.
"Just water for me, thanks," Cherry said smiling.
"Water for me t-" he said before getting cut off by his phone.

Looking down at it, his mind went completely blank.

"I have to go."
