The streetlight buzzed and flickered outside of a convenience store. It went out for a few seconds before a drunk stumbled towards it and smashed his face on the pole. The light flicked back on and the old man grumbled and walked away.

Inside of the store, the clerk scanned a small box labeled Jillida.

"That'll be 70 cents. Do you need a bag?" He asked politely.

"Nope." The customer replied shortly.

"Goodbye." Daniel called out to the customer as they walked out. 'Please say thank you...'He internally begged, desperate for human interaction after a shift filled with awkward, clipped interactions with customers.

I got a night job at a convenience store.

Yesterday after school, Daniel walked into the hiring convenience store looking for the job. The shop owner was extremely eager to hire him in his 'pretty' body, but far less enthusiastic when he saw Daniel walk in in his original body to work the shift.

The shopkeeper almost turned him away, but Daniel's extensive knowledge of cigarette brands allowed him to keep the job, even if the wage was lower than what he would've gotten in his second body.

Perhaps the years of abuse and cigarette delivering did come in handy?

Daniel sighed as he surveyed the store.

'I managed to get hired but... Why the salary difference?'

He remembers his employer urging him to bring his other body in to 'say hello.'

'I have two bodies... So I need expenses for two people.'

The day body is currently sleeping.

'New body for daytime, old body at night. School during the day, work at night.'

I was living 12 hours per body to protect each's health.

'Why does this happen to me?'

'What if my new body disappears?'

'If only this body would go...'

The daytime is like a beautiful dream.

At night I come back to the cold reality.

And the reality is still like a dream.

A horrible dream.

Damn right, horrible dream.

Daniel sat outside of the store bloody, bruised and feeling violated.

He had just been attacked by Zack after refusing to allow some of his other classmates to buy booze and cigarettes.

And to add icing to the cake, the bullies had forced him to take nude pictures on one of their phone's as 'insurance.' If he reported them, his nude photos would have been leaked.

"Whew." He sighed.

'At least I didn't sell them the smokes... I would've been fired on my first day..'

He scrolled through his phone and tapped on a contact before pressing the device to the side of his face.

'I can't just rely on mom. Shall I call her?'

He listened to the phone ring before there was a click on the other end of the line.

"Oh! Who's this? My son~"
