The Next Job Applicant
I checked the email on my phone again for the response to my job application. It stated, "Come to this address, and tap the karioki on the blood-red door to earn what I deserve."
I tried and tried to knock the karioki, but I failed every time my knuckles rapped that damn tune on that door.
In frustration, the applicant in line behind me grabbed my shoulders and tossed me aside. He stepped up to the door, rapped it out, stepped inside and closed the door.
As I stood up, I heard from behind the blood-red door a gastly male scream, a thud against the door. A sickening meat-grinding whining noise vibrated that door. When it stopped, a mechanical voice said, "Next Applicant."
I looked over my shoulder at the long line of other applicants standing there like cattle, mindlessly staring at their phones, all perfectly content humming the karaoke.
I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
