"Seth?" The man asked. Seth perked up and unhesitantly replied with "Yes! That's me!" The man then responded, "Your text that you handed in, was lost in the pile, and someone had forged your test to make you fail. So, we viewed your actual test, and... Well, You're in." Seth bounced up and down with happiness and joy. He couldn't believe that he would actually get in. Seth jumped into the limousine, without resisting at all. The car roared into action, and drove off. Halfway through the trip, Seth fell quiet. He had realised something. He had left his cat back on the street. He could imagine him, sad, big eyed, and lying down where Seth was. A couple of minutes later, Seth let out a big sigh. "Turn back." The driver replied. "What?" "I said, turn back." Seth proclaimed. "Are you sure? If you turn back now, you won't be able to get a job here again. I'm warning you kid," The man exclaimed. "For the final time already, turn back." As with that, the limousine screeched to a halt, then turned around. They drove back, and as Seth would have imagined, the cat was still lying there, how he thought it would be. Seth leaped out of the vehicle, not looking back. They reunited. "You came here for a stupid cat? You can't even bring the, into the workspace. If you're such an idiot, then how did you get into this in the first place?" The man shut the door, and sped off. Seth was happy though. The cat climbed upon Seth and never left his side. A few days later, he named the cat Frizz and lived (sort of) happily ever after.
Although Seth may have never gotten his dream job, he realised that he needed a companion instead. A companion is one hundred times more important than a job.
Good night.
