After two rejections in a row I decided I needed a little retail therapy so I ended up buying more than I had intended.

“Hey thanks! We never get people to spend as much as you just did. The economy and all you know? Would you like to become a preferred customer? You’d receive discounts through your email and be aware of the new items first.”

What did I have to lose? I needed all the discounts I could get. “Sure, why not?”

After filling out the paperwork, the girl realized I didn’t have a car so she told me that someone would drop off my purchases, I walked outside and was on my way home when I heard this weird laughing. Looking around I walked over to where the sound was coming from. I stopped when something crunched underneath of my foot. Stepping back I looked down.

“Ew, ew, EW!!!”

I hopped around in disgust them scraped the bottom of my shoe on the sidewalk as the roaches milled around in the street by the curb.

“Freaking gross!!” I was about to go into the store to report it, maybe they’d have some spray or something, when, from the corner of my eye, I saw a brilliant flash of green light.

“Are you kidding me?!” I stared up in astonishment as the broomstick riding woman disappeared from view.

Sure, I had heard about the occult but you just didn’t run into those kind of people in Baldwin Hills. Wow, that was interesting. No one else seemed to be paying much attention so I guess it was a common enough occurrence here. Shrugging, I looked back down to see a kid staring at me.

“Hey pretty lady. How about a date?”

“Kid, how old are you?” I asked in amusement.

He shrugged then winked. “How old do you want me to be?”

Sure, I was in need of some loving but there was no way I wanted Big Bertha to make me her bitch for the next ten to fifteen. “Call me when you get some chin hair.”

“Alright!” He nodded his head enthusiastically then scurried away.

Laughing under my breath I walked home. Once there I decided to test out one of the inventions one of the doctors had given me to. His wife was a scientist and she had invented this rejuvenation machine so that people would have more time to do the things they needed to advance in their careers without having to sleep as often. I flipped through the book then tossing it aside flicked the switch on. I had already tried it once and it had worked as she had described it. I’m pretty sure that it would work the same way this time.

I screamed as electricity went through my body at amazing speeds. This was NOT what had happened the last time. I’m pretty sure that this is what getting tasered by the police felt like. I could do nothing but grip the handles and hope I made it out alive. When my vision started to blur I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to.
