"One Bad Apple"

Have you ever hated a job so much you wanted nothing more than to sabotage it? You want nothing more than for them to experience the same kind of hell they put you through. Wanting to put them on their knees and ask for forgiveness in hopes you'll help relieve them of the burden you placed upon them. You then make your escape and leave them to their twisted fate.

My eyelids are heavy enough that forcing them open is almost impossible. I had to fight it to see where my phone was to turn my alarm off. I check the time, was it 7 a.m. already? I threw my blanket off and grabbed some clothes from my closet before jumping in the bathroom for a quick shower.
"Today is the day," I thought aloud. "I'm going to put my two weeks in and everything will go according to planned."
After finishing up the shower, I threw my clothes on and headed out the door. I had to double back inside after realizing I forgot my keys inside. I climbed into my car and headed to work.
On my way, the idea and the anxiety didn't leave my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about what my boss might say or even do after he realizes I'm leaving. He says I'm one of the most valuable people they have working there. They can't afford to lose me. 
Finally, I made it. The parking lot was flooded with nearly as many cars as it could fit. If the employee parking wasn't open there would be no place for me to park. I got out of my car and snuck inside, slipping my hat on.
The screens inside were full as usual. They desperately needed my help in the kitchen. I ran back there, helping in dropping food in the fryers and tossing meat up on the grill. I helped bagging some food and before too long, the screens were nearly empty. 
In all the help, my manager noticed me and thanked me for assisting. We carried on in a conversation as we made our way back into the kitchen. The co-workers were working to get everything stocked back up, awaiting another rush.
I broke the harsh news to my boss. He looked at me in a stern, concerning way. What was going through his mind? He was angry, I knew he would be. He simply nodded and said, "Thanks for letting me know."
He walked away and began working on some paperwork on his desk. That went far smoother than I thought. Perfect, part one of my plan had been pulled off without a hitch. Part two was about to commence.

I waited until my very last day to ensure nobody would catch on. I had recently purchased some special poison from a source I'm not aloud to name. I paid a pretty penny for it as well.
I spent the entire day listening carefully to every customer and matching them up with the food they were ordering. We could hear every word from the kitchen. I waited for the rude ones to order and slipped the poison in their food. I had been practicing my slight of hand so it would be untraceable, even on the cameras.
You see, the poison is special in that they don't realize it is in their system for a few days. They then go into cardiac arrest and die several days after consumption. It was a devious plan, but what better way to cull the population than to get rid of the rotten ones?

"The Light"

  My day off from work was supposed to be a day for me to relax and unwind and rest. The past few days had been incredibly stressful, from hateful customers to managers that expected everyone to do their jobs for them, and everything in between. It was nice to finally have that down time to spend away from all that. I'd decided to spend my time, not to get things done around the house, but to play a new game I'd been hooked on lately. It was this puzzle game where every room is seemingly randomly generated, each with clean and clever puzzles. After booting up the game, I was presented a room with white padded tiles all over the walls. There were a few green, red, and blue squares. I guess my job was to manipulate those tiles somehow to get me from where I was no, up to the top of the level. I looked around the room and could barely make out an opening. I pressed a single button to get myself started when the light in my bedroom burnt out, leaving me shrouded in darkness...

"Fading Memories"

W ith old age comes problems that are as old as time itself. Your mind begins to crumble. Your body begins to fall apart. You are eventually unable to do things on your own. It's enough to make anyone lose their mind. And sometimes this can result in the worst kinds of situations. Living with my grandson is so irritating. All he wants to do is sit in his room and play video games all the time. He doesn't want anything to do with me. In fact, it feels like nobody in my family want anything to do with me. All I have is my television and my knitting needles. I had been working on this blanket for a while. Winter was on its way, so what better time to make something like this. Knitting is something I enjoy doing to waste time until eventually something might enter my life and give it some kind of new meaning. This was a reason why I chose to let him live with me. He seemed like an interesting person to be around from the beginning. I don't know what drove him away from me...

"Baby Talk"

C ommunication is one of the strongest bonds we have as people. We use it to get our feelings across, whether they be disagreements or compliments, or even to complain about our days. But what happens when even the most talkative person won't even mutter a word? At one point in time, if you told me that our baby would grow up just like any normal one would, I would have absolutely believed you. But why is it that now our child has the ability to speak long before any normal kid should be able to? The one painful thing that comes from her being able to talk is that she doesn't really want to stop. It was cute when it first started, she'd make all these silly noises and attempt to make words out of them. Now she has learned speech so well that we're surprised she can't read yet. We wanted to send her off to a school for gifted kids so that she could learn with people nearly as smart as she is. As much as I'd enjoy this idea, however, the wife and I would a...
