Chapter 1

Today is yet another interview of mine for my new job. I don’t know what job they are going to give me, but it doesn’t matter as long as I can continue the same life of mine till now. They all gave me not such great jobs and not such great payments, but I am satisfied because I just want to lead a normal life peacefully, with a roof inside which I can stay, food that is eatable, and clothing that is wearable. I could earn a living till now. In my last job, I was fired, no, more like kicked out… because my boss found out that I was disguised as a human. Why can’t they understand that I just want to live contently, I don’t want to interfere with their affairs. But, why do I have this weird feeling that something is going to change and I don’t like it? Never mind, let me focus on now. I go to the receptionist and tell her what I am supposed to tell her. She gives me a weird look at first, I also get confused but then I understand. Huff! It is because in this job I am not going to be disguised. Anyway, she does her job sincerely and tells me what she is supposed to tell. I have to go to the third floor of the building to take the interview. I don’t know how to go up, I don’t dare to ask the receptionist again. So, I just ask a person passing by but he ignores me. Never mind, why will he answer me? I start to search for a flight of stairs but there aren’t any. I then see an elegant lady opening a lift and I see that the lift goes up. So, I go towards the lift. After it comes down, I try to open it, it opens and I try to go inside but just then someone pushed me and goes inside. Until I get up, that person already closed the door quickly with a disgusted look on his face. I just sigh and wait for the lift to come back down again. I again try to open it but just then again, a woman comes and pushes me, thanks to my earlier experience that I didn’t fall this time. She says with annoyance, “You lowly creature, get lost! Let me go first. You are created to serve us!” I again just sigh and go while she rushes in, I wait by sitting on a chair in the corner of the reception lobby. I don’t dare to sit on the furnished maroon velvet sofa. To be honest, yes, I had social anxiety. I needed my personal space. I also didn’t have the courage to stand up for myself. I wake myself up from these thoughts and start looking outside the grand windows, or should I call it a wall? The wall itself is made of rich glass. I keep looking outside at the wonderful view of tall and grand buildings but at the same time a green-colorful space, until I wait for everybody to go up. Finally, now there is no one, now I go to the lift and press the arrow which points up, I don’t dare to touch it. I go up to the third floor. The doors of the lift opens and I go out in a hurry so that I am not late for my first impression. But….. at the lift’s entrance I bump into a woman. Oh my God! What have I done? I don’t want to do anything stupid now!...
