After returning home I went to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee, good thing my father left just enough in the pot for one cup. I then poured the coffee into my favorite cup and walked up stairs. I walked over and pulled my laptop off of my work table and then sat on my bed and set cross legged with it upon my legs. I opened up the internet and looked for local jobs that were of close distance. And then one job caught my attention, it was a small store The Strange and Unusual oddities shop. I looked at the location and found out it was only a mile and a half away. I wondered why I hadn't noticed it before, and then found that it was a new store. I smiled realizing that would mean they would need workers, so the job was pretty much a garuntee.
I checked the time, 11:30 a.m. on a thursday, so it should be open right now. I decided that I should go and apply there and hopefully get the job. It would be such an amazing job, working with creepy but amazing things, it would be more like a perfect job. I walked over to my closet to find a pair of slacks, a nice shirt, and then went and checked on my makeup. I put on the clolthes and grabbed my long board and skated down to the shop. When I arrived I could see The Strange and Unusual Oddities Parlor and I could feel a small spark of excitement in my chest. I set my board on the side of the store and opened the door hearing a small bell chime when the door opened.
I looked around and smiled, there was everything here, ranging from small skulls and some taxidermy to specimans in jars and two headed animals. I walked over to the main counter, a woman with greyish blackish hair and beautiful makeup raised her head and said, "Welcome, may I help you find something specific?"
"Hello, I was wondering if you were hireing by chance?" I ask.
"Oh yes, let me go and get an application for you, I will be right back!" She replies enthusiastically.
"Thank you!" I smile brightly.
She returns with a couple papers in her hand, and then hands them to me.
"Here you go, just fill these out and return them to me or whoever is working, and then we will call you and let you know if you have the job or not! My name is Ryan Malarkey, what is your name?" She asks kindly.
"Thank you Ryan, my name is Dasha. And is it alright if I bring in the application to you tomorrow?" I reply.
"What a wonderful name, and yes of course you can!"
"Thank you! And okay I will see you tomorrow, thank you again." I smile and wave goodbye and walk out of the door and grabbed my longboard and skated home with a smile on my face. I hope i get the job, and Ryan was really nice, it would be fun to work with her. I arrived home and began filling out my application. I finished and made sure everything was correct. I then put it on my work table and walked into my living room and put in a movie. I could feel my eyes start to flutter as I drift asleep. The first thing popping in my head was the tall stranger at the convienent store.
