I Should Thank You

Chapter 4| Survival

" I definitely got back problems till I'm about 32 I can feel it."

I want to say I slept well or even decently, but that would be an obvious lie. I probably got at most 3 hours of sleep, but that's most likely the maximum I'll get for a while. Whatever. Time to start my game plan.

I was thinking about it all night during the time I couldn't sleep. Hear me out for a second.

PLAN A

FIRST: I'd actually move my ass out of my blanket

SECOND: I should sneak out of the warehouse just in case of the possibility of being attacked by workers

THIRD: Walk around to see if any stores or restaurants are currently hiring.

FOURTH: Get a job and live happily ever after.

This will definitely work! It's such a solid proof plan, there's no way it wouldn't. Yup... let's do this!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strolling through the city of Yokohama, I look around for any shops where I could potentially gain a job. It's something I really need right now if I have any chance of surviving. 

There's no way I'm living in a cold, dusty warehouse for the rest of my life.  Even if it's temporary, I have to secure some kind of shelter and get some food. 

As I walking down the crowded streets, I pass by a large sign saying "Welcome to Yokohama's Shopping District".

Oh this is perfect. There's definitely at least one place where they're hiring.

Entering the shop closest to me, the walls were plastered with pink and yellow, and blue wallpaper all around. It was apparently an ice cream shop, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a child day care.  

There was an actual playground inside surrounded by little children playing in a ball-pit which was located in the center of it all. Screaming children left and right, distressed parents, ice cream replacing the floors. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Ignoring it all as best as possible, I focus back on the mission at hand and make my way up to the counter.

"Excuse me? I was wondering If I could speak to your manager."

"Hello, You want to speak with our manager you say? That shouldn't be a problem, please give me a second while I call her over." The short black haired women spoke while following a spin afterward away from me to call over the manager.

"Hiro! Get over here."

"NO! I wanna keep playing with my friends!"

"We can come back later, but we have to go now."

"I said NOO!"

**CRAASH**

The little boy not more than the age of 5 also known as Hiro crashed into the side of my leg. 

"Owww Mommmyy!"

I bent down a little and picked the small boy up back onto his feet while checking if he was alright.

" I'm so sorry miss for my son's actions"

"Don't worry about it, he's just a kid," I reassure the mother.

"I'M NOT GOING HOME!"  I can only see the mother become even more frustrated as her screaming son only increases his antics.

Bending down towards the kid once more, I thought it might be best to help the mother out because she looked like giving up at any near point.
