Casey unfolded a fresh new outfit and quickly got dressed. She had combed her hair four times by now, but she did so one more time. She wanted to look presentable for her first day at work. Making a bad first impression could mean her job and Casey knew she couldn't let that happen.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiMVHGciej
Yesterday she had glanced at the packet Reece had given her the other day, and she was left completely speechless. Her pay was twenty nine dollars an hour and she'd be working for six hours a day. She never expected to be making this much money, and she certainly didn't expect to be making it at a fast food restaurant.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc0eFNAYIJ
She made sure to lock her door tightly as she began her stroll down the street. When the orange building finally came into her view she jogged over to it. She was heading for the front door when she pulled away from it. She quietly scolded herself for almost making the same mistake twice. She remembered that awkward situation she got into at Lovin's Diner. She had to find the back door.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TmAHVvv5
She walked around the restaurant, along a thin gravelly path. She could barely see the path under all the thick bushes, but she could tell it was there. Finally, she climbed out onto the cement pavement right outside the back of the building. There she saw a dirty, yellow door. A few feet in front of the door was a dark green dumpster. She walked up to the door. It's yellow paint was chipping off and the metal handle was rusting. She pulled the door open and entered.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8sMdCLhO
At first, she didn't see anyone around, but then she noticed two people talking indistinctly at the front of the store. She could tell one of them was Reece. She walked up through the kitchen and through the doors. Reece and another girl dressed in a yellow and orange apron uniform were standing in front of the counter.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgh1DXQm8q
"There you are!" Reece said, looking at Casey. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfWy4nSo0l
"Carly, this is the girl you saw the other day," Reece explained to the girl who was with her. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAsm6Dkkw
"Nice to meet you," Casey greeted.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo14YdvuIpJ
"You too," Carly said with a friendly smile.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHTRMQoYmi
"Oh, Casey," Reece started, "you didn't come in through the back door, did you?" Reece asked.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X7WYThgeQ
"Um, I did," Casey responded.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaUOPDhM0t
Reece sighed, "Well, you are new here so I shouldn't be surprised. Next time, you can just come in through the front door. That back area is not very well kept." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeY8YCXz3b
"Oh, sorry about that." Casey silently scolded herself yet again. She swore, she couldn't do anything right. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWAett7hsH
"It's alright. Now, let me give you a quick tour of the restaurant." Reece opened the counter door and Casey followed. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDShkWe3sx
"This is the dining area. There are a few arcade machines here, and in the back are the restrooms. Unfortunately these are the only toilets in the restaurant so if you ever need to go you'll have to use these." Casey nodded. She wondered why the restaurant was so tiny if the restaurant chain clearly had money to improve the building. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOWmEkdabt
"You won't need to go into the back of the restaurant very often, but there's no harm in showing you around there." Reece and Casey made their way over to the kitchen doors and into the back of the restaurant. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoxNCU9ykm
"This is the kitchen, which I'm sure you've already seen, and back here…" Reece walked further into a small area with three doors.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ktNp39Fp
"Here is my office, the back door, and the security office. You've already seen my office and the back area, so I'll show you the security office." Reece opened the black door to her left. The room was completely dark gray. The little amount of light in the room came from some dim security monitors. It was quiet except for a faint buzzing noise caused by all the electronics. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV7N0rs84c
"Joe," Reece said peeking into the dark room. There was a man sitting at the desk watching the monitors. He sighed and turned to Reece and Casey. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVBiPwrGz
"What?" He asked in a unenthusiastic tone. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsAN3xnYub
"I just wanted to introduce you and Casey. She's the new cashier." Reece looked at Casey. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2OeIUF5hk
"Casey, this is Joe, our security guard." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadDuptGwNX
"It's nice to meet you." Casey waved to him briefly. He stared back at her not replying or returning the gesture. His look was one of complete uninterested. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXPqOyzkQh
"Uh, Casey," Reece said, trying to break the awkward silence, "You should get to the front of the restaurant. Your shift is about to start. I'm sure the rest of your coworkers will introduce themselves when they're ready." Casey nodded, not wanting to stand in that doorway any longer. She headed towards the dining area. She pushed through the kitchen doors and was again met by Carly. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bcU607Wpt
"Casey," Carly greeted as soon as she noticed her, "you're probably ready to get to work, right? I'll get out of your way, but if you need help with anything just let me know." Carly was turning to go into the kitchen, but she suddenly stopped. She quickly looked back at Casey. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ55P40XaRy
"Oh, you're not wearing a uniform," She noted. Casey looked down at herself. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluW6bwRfCr
"I didn't know I needed to," Casey stuttered. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MBLj6fCTH
"Don't even worry about it. I'll be right back. I'm sure Reece has a spare uniform that you can use." Carly hurried into the back of the restaurant, leaving Casey alone at the counter. She didn't take too long, however, to return with an orange and yellow uniform. It was just a short sleeved shirt with a vest sewn into it, unlike Carly's uniform, which was a shirt and apron. Casey just assumed that only employees who worked in the kitchen wore aprons. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DcVIEhK0D
"You can just throw it on over your clothes. It's pretty lightweight," Carly said handing the folded shirt to Casey. Casey quickly put the shirt on and adjusted it. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhdAudaanM
"There you go. It looks nice. It really matches your hair." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELP4hdAy4J
Casey smiled, "Thank you."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXiZfEk3GG
"Anyways, you better get to work. Sorry for keeping you so long. I'll just be in the kitchen if you need anything." Carly retired to the kitchen, after telling her this.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEuvdNIWm
Casey wasn't as nervous as she thought she'd be. She was used to taking orders and operating a cash register, so she knew she'd have nothing to worry about. It wasn't long before the restaurant started filling up with customers, and Casey had begun taking orders. She was working as efficiently as she could.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW0ARlCl9r
All she had to do was take the customers' order, take their name, record it on the register, and then wait for the information to go to a thin screen in the kitchen and the cook would prepare the food. She already knew about all the procedures in the restaurant from the packet Reece had given her the other day. The job was a lot easier than the previous ones she had. About the only thing slightly inconvenient was being the only cashier in the whole restaurant. In other words, she had to deal with all of the customers herself. Sometimes Carly would help out in the dining area, but she was constantly doing something and was usually too busy to deal with customers, other than delivering them their meals. Other than that, the job was like a dream come true. It was easy, and the pay was more than she had ever earned anywhere else.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP9QkPo9GO
After a good couple of hours, Casey noticed there weren't any customers in the restaurant. It had been at least twenty minutes since she took anyone's order. The sky was beginning to turn orange as the sun began setting. Casey's eyes kept closing as she rested her elbows on the counter. She quickly sprung up however, as she heard the kitchen doors opening. She turned around and saw Reece.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCPK8ieQyK
"Hey Casey. You're getting tired, huh?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEIZSBaULD
"Oh, maybe a little bit," Casey muttered, "I didn't sleep that well last night." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21uUGuA4RO
"Oh, it's fine. I'm pretty tired, too. I just needed to let you know that me and the team are going to be leaving the restaurant for the night." Once she finished talking, the kitchen doors opened again. She quickly stepped aside and let Carly and two other people pass in front of her. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREq6IG35D7
"Oh," Casey was immediately very nervous to hear that. "Does that mean I'm going to be here alone?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbPvs9KtN
"No, no. Joe is staying too. You probably won't have to do much anyways, though. The restaurant is pretty quiet at night." Casey wasn't too happy to hear that Joe was staying, but she was glad to hear that she probably wouldn't have to make customers' orders from scratch. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufIXFdY0eA
Reece stepped out from behind the counter and said, "Well, since practically everyone is here I guess I'll go ahead and introduce you to everyone. You and Carly already met, so that only leaves Stanley, our cook, and Otis, the janitor." Casey looked over at her coworkers. Along with Carly there were two other men standing in front of the exit. One of the men had a name tag that read "Stanley". He was about a foot taller than Casey and looked very well built. He had sand colored hair that was slicked upwards and he wore a yellow and orange uniform similar to Carly's. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgjv2fi2DN
"It's great to meet you, Casey," he said, smiling in a very friendly way. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUHMv3083p
"Thanks, it's nice to meet you too," Casey replied. The other person standing beside Stanley didn't say anything yet. He was a young man, with wavy hair and a thin stature. He wore an orange jumpsuit. Casey assumed he was Otis. He seemed to be lost in thought until he finally noticed everyone looking at him. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidBBqjCtOs
"Oh, hey," he greeted casually, lifting his hand slightly and waving. Casey waved back.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTw4mnmVnB
"Alright, we better get going now. Joe's still back in the security office if you need anything, and Otis and Stanley will be coming back in about an hour to lock up the restaurant. Do you think you'll be alright, Casey?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVVOob4RiK
Casey stuttered for a second, "Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine." She realized she probably didn't sound like she thought she would be fine, but there wasn't anything she could do about that. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQFHWSdJT
"Alright," Reece nodded, "we'll be going, then. Take care of the place." Reece motioned for everyone to follow her as she went out through the front doors. Stanley and Otis followed her out the entrance. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcuEGXS9o
"You'll do alright, Casey," Carly said, giving Casey a thumbs up before following everyone else out the doors. Casey watched the group leave. She stared through the glass, until she couldn't see any of her coworkers. Once they were gone, Casey began to feel a little anxious. This was her first day working here and she was already alone in the restaurant. She had a nagging feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong. Something would go awry and she would be fired. The moment that word entered her mind she shook her head. She didn't want to think about losing her job.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxaKHjUJmq
She rested her arms on the counter and tried to relax. She peeked at the windows every now and again to check if any customers were coming. At some point she was sure she heard footsteps approaching the doors. Nobody was there when she looked, but she could still hear the sound. The sound of footsteps, or knocking maybe. She wasn't quite sure what is was, but it was still going, even though she could see there was nobody at the doors.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgwWVetnoZ
Casey turned her head to look around the room, and she could hear the sound clearer. She backed up from the counter and again, the sound became clearer. She fully turned around and faced the kitchen doors. It had to be coming from there. Slowly she pushed the doors open and peeked inside. She didn't see anything, but the sound was louder and Casey recognized it. It was the same sound she heard yesterday when she came out of Reece's office.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Kvxi4GCj
She walked up to the yellow door all the way at the back. It was definitely coming from behind that door. What Casey wasn't sure of was whether she should open it. The only other person in the restaurant was Joe, and Casey really didn't want to talk to him. She thought for a moment that it might be best to leave whatever was making the sound alone. She didn't want to get scratched or bitten by some animal. Then again she didn't want to be held responsible if something happened. Of course, the moment that thought came into her mind she couldn't forget about it. She had do something.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EKs1OMYW6
She reluctantly knocked on the black security door. Joe didn't say anything and the door didn't open. With a sigh Casey decided to open it. She turned the handle and it opened to a small, gray room. Joe was still sitting in his seat, not acknowledging her.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFQzGQdMxG
She was wondering if she should shut the door and pretend that she came into the wrong room, but that would be awkward. She decided to just say what she needed to say. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvY2Fv7UUN
"Hey," Casey said quietly. For a moment there was silence, then Joe sighed. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3511TLEb
"What?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELqbaJI1Va
"Uh, sorry to bother you. There's a sound coming from the back door..." Joe exhaled slowly as if just talking to her was taking so much of his energy.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EAUoeONMG
"Oh, yeah?" He glanced at her.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKIptcPLh1
"Yeah. Can you check the cameras to see what's out there?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeyDzj6srz
"No," Joe said plainly, "the security camera out there broke a long time ago." Casey straightened herself out. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7nKSqk4cf
"Well, then what are we supposed to do about it?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3nIOnmX68
Joe turned his chair to face her. "Ignore it. Those sounds are normal." Casey couldn't quite understand how these noises could be normal. They sounded so out of place. There definitely had to be a person or an animal in the back of the restaurant. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICU89Rs19
"What if something happens?" Casey asked with a firm tone. Joe rubbed his forehead, clearly agitated. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw62fDXlHB
"Don't you have a job to be doing?" Joe pointed with his thumb, in the direction of the front counter. Casey realized she wasn't going to get help from him. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMJK7oZRW9
"Uh, yeah. Sorry for bothering you." She let the door close lightly then walked over to the back exit. The sound definitely didn't sound normal to her. There were two choices she had, but it felt more like she only had one. She could ignore the sound and risk getting blamed for whatever might happen, or she could investigate it and risk getting attacked by an animal. Casey rubbed her forehead and sighed. She knew she had to take her chances with the animal.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRfYXLgmMx
The yellow door creaked open and Casey walked out, closing the door behind her. In front of her was the large, green dumpster. It was shifting slightly. Casey realized it sounded scarily like there was a person inside. She stepped towards the dumpster. She briefly looked around for something she could use to open the dumpster lid with, instead of her hand. She didn't see anything around, though, so she began lifting the lid. She knew she was probably going to regret doing this.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdyUGhTBg0
Upon opening the lid she looked in, but immediately backed up as she was hit with the horrible smell of garbage. She held her breath as she peered in again. She couldn't tell what she was looking at at first. There were garbage bags and bits of trash, but there was also something else. Something black in the middle of the dumpster. Casey's heart nearly shot out of her chest when the something that she was looking at, moved. She realized that the thing she was looking at had the vague silhouette of a person. Yet it had black fur covering it's entire body. The thing didn't look like an animal, but it didn't look like a person either. Just when she was telling herself that she was imagining all of this, the thing began to stand up.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe88NNIScxP
Casey jumped back in an instant and slammed her back against the yellow door. She frantically tried pushing on it and shoving it, but it didn't open. She completely forgot that it had to be pulled for it to open. She looked back at the dumpster. She was so panicked she didn't know what to do.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTpRLHHC0
Then the dumpster lid opened a crack. Casey watched it carefully. The thing she saw lifted the lid up showing just it's head, which looked disturbingly human, and yet not human at all. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRhNJvGfvO
"I'm sorry... Ugh, this is weird..." The thing began talking, and Casey just stared, frozen with a disturbed expression. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2fay48Jl
"I didn't mean to scare you," the thing said. There was a long silence. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzGi2oy0sl
"What are you doing in there?" Casey asked in an apprehensive tone. That was all she could think to say. The thing laughed a little.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8mvVkJs2v
"Nothing," it replied. It paused for a second. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokAnHhZ3M
Then it asked, "Do you work here? Who are you?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQEuXHioC6
"Who am I? Who are you, and what are you doing in the dumpster?" Casey couldn't believe she was having a conversation with this... person? It had to be a person. It had to be a man in some kind of suit, that was the only way she could explain what she was seeing. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa55V1iuNf
"I'm Gray. I, uh, work here." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRlqK0Bf8
"You work here?" Casey asked, knowing there was no way that was true. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0edOwRokv
"Yeah," he responded. The way he spoke like this was completely normal made Casey uncomfortable. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14twT8wU6
"What are you wearing? Is that a costume or something?" It sounded so much like a person it had to just be a man in a costume. The guy looked down at himself.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJVzycqJJ
"Oh, uh..." he laughed, "It's hard to explain. I'm-" Casey heard the back door suddenly swing open. She jumped and quickly spun around towards the door. The security guard stood in the doorway, clearly not happy. Without saying anything he grabbed the back of her shirt and shoved her inside the restaurant, while he stepped outside. Casey stumbled inside and when she looked back, the door had shut. She picked herself up from the ground and looked up at the door, very confused. What was that about? 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX0l6IDwdo
She stepped towards the door, then thought she heard a voice. She put her head up against the door to hear what was going on. She heard Joe talking. To her surprise, it sounded like he was talking to the man in the dumpster. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0CUsNk2HB
"She's new here. You don't need to worry about her. I'll take care of it," she heard Joe say. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPXxoIzXd
"Oh, It's alright. I don't mind having someone to talk to. It gets pretty boring out here." The man said, laughing quietly. Joe didn't reply to him. Casey lifted her head from the door when she heard Joe walking towards it. The door opened then shut. Joe now stood in the middle of the hall looking at Casey. He stared at her angrily before finally talking. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeU55ztR9o
"Didn't I tell you not to go back there?" Casey's voice cracked as she tried to respond. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdX0IFRGcK
"Who... Who was that guy?" Joe's cold expression faded slightly.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk54W0aVZ5v
"There wasn't anyone out there." Casey was taken aback by that statement. That wasn't true. She was just out there and knew that there was a man out there. Casey wasn't sure what to say now. He was obviously lying, but why?367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniET76NAWj
Before Casey could say anything, Joe said, "You better to get back to work. Just because your shift is almost over doesn't mean you get to slack off until you're finished for the day." With how uncomfortable the situation was getting, Casey didn't mind getting back to work now. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwHZ8hf9Vm
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm going." Casey backed up before turning and leaving the kitchen. She was glad to know that her shift was almost over. However, that whole situation she just experienced still bothered her. Casey decided that she needed to focus on her work. However, there still weren't any customers coming in. The restaurant was empty.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxLzeZNZJr
That was until the front doors suddenly opened. Casey's head shot up to see who just walked in. To her relief it wasn't a customer, it was Stanley and Otis. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgJTE0kktr
"Hey," Stanley greeted Casey as he walked in, "how've you been holding up?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDV7RFhLl1
"I'm, uh, managing." Casey replied.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhfnI4Ctt7
"I wish we didn't all have to leave on your first day on the job. We just had to take care of some things." Stanley explained. Casey nodded. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc5V59M9iy
"Well, your shift is almost over isn't it? You can go ahead and leave early, we'll lock up the restaurant." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXjSCO5vS0
"Oh, thanks." Casey was surprised to hear him make that offer, but she was happy that he did. She stepped out from behind the counter. She was heading towards the door when she stopped just before she passed Stanley and Otis.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HkyErquKe
"Oh, wait," she said abruptly. Stanley and Otis looked at her waiting to hear what she had to say. "Can I ask you guys something?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Y8PazJV9
"Sure," Stanley agreed. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OCPTKdARL
"I saw something... No, I saw a person in the dumpster outside. It was super weird. I don't know what he was doing. Has that ever happened before?" The men looked at each other briefly. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBukna4SWzU
"I'm surprised you met him so soon," Otis said. Stanley gave him a look when he said that. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPOMZDBNsM
He looked back at Casey and said, "Yeah, I'm surprised too. That's such a weird thing to see. What were you doing back there anyways?" 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRjH4X6h7s
"I just thought I heard something, and I was afraid there might've been an animal in the back, so I went to look. Have you guys ever seen that before?" Both Otis and Stanley answered at the same time, but gave different answers.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJFUReGiw
"Uh, no, I can't say that I have," Stanley replied. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyAQOkznn2
However, Otis simply replied, "Yeah." Stanley looked at Otis and roughly elbowed him in the shoulder. He looked back at Casey.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd10VNaUOZq
"Are you sure you saw that? I've seen animals in the dumpster before. Are you sure it wasn't an animal?" Casey didn't answer Stanley right away. She looked at Otis. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfo8zdgd8Z
"Uh, well, I don't know. Maybe it could've been an animal." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvgY2Gab2V
"Well, I don't blame you for not knowing for sure. You've been working for hours on end and stress can make you see stuff." Casey didn't know if she believed that. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT57Ko3k5H4
"I don't want to keep you here any longer, so go ahead and get yourself home. We'll see you tomorrow." 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vE7dbvwCt
"Thanks," Casey said slowly, "I guess." She left the restaurant. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9w3yyWD8m
She buried her hands into her pockets when she got outside. It was turning fall and the weather was chilly. Silently, she thought that something wasn't right about her new job. It was clear her coworkers weren't telling her something. She was hesitant to ask questions about what was going on. She had a feeling that she didn't really want to know. What she did know was that she didn't hallucinate that guy in the dumpster. However, she tried to tell herself there was a reasonable explanation for a guy being in the dumpster. She didn't succeed in convincing herself, though. A light, but chilly gust of wind hit Casey in the face, taking her out of thought for a moment. She exhaled, and could see her breath. She then remembered the reason she needed the job in the first place. She wasn't in a position to quit and go searching for another job, not while she had rent to pay. Biddle's Burgers will have to do, for now anyways.
