a groan left your lips as you sat up on the couch you had dozed off on last night after eating and binge watching shows...
"my body hurts" you stood up heading to your room to grab some clothes and went to the bathroom.
You stared at your reflection in the mirror for a good 20 minutes before commenting "dang! I'm one fine piece of trash"
You used your hand to lightly cover your mouth as you exhale out unto your palms "oof morning breath" your face scrunched up in disgust
You grabbed your brush and put some toothpaste on it before brushing and doing other bathroom routines....
You came out from your bathroom feeling refreshed. Looking around your surroundings, you went to tidy your house because you didn't want to seem off like a pig... Plus Mia would kill you if you didn't.
You were done as you looked around "its time to be productive" You laid down on your couch switching on the TV as you switched through channels boredly.
"maybe I should go out" you mumbled to yourself as you stood up then paused "but walking is too much exercise" you mumbled again "but I'll still be bored" you frowned "you know what, duck it!" you grabbed your phone and your wallet before putting it in your back jean pocket, you left.
You were unemployed. Why?.... You were one crazy human. You finished college at the age of 19 and decided you will live your life to the fullest; no one could cage you, not even your parents. They had given up on forcing you to join the family business or even finding a job back at your country. In your own words;
""ɪ'ᴍ ғʀᴇᴇ ᴀs ᴀ ʙɪʀᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴀɴ ᴄᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ɴᴜʜ - ᴜʜ"
You are presently 21 years old and still unemployed but you see it as a life accomplishment. How sad...
Back at your country, being that old without a job or even being married would make society judge you but fvck society.
You're from the African continent. A Nigerian. you left home in the hopes of enjoying life to the fullest round the world but you couldn't do that seeing how broke you were all on your own so you decided to settle in New Jersey for some years and some how, you've been surviving without a job and occasionally being broke.
wow the weather sure is chilly" you rubbed your palms together as you were walking, regretting not carrying a sweater. You wore a short sleeved shirt with a high waist jean and some snickers and had your hair in a tight bun. Your hair was pretty stubborn for a natural hair it stopped just around your back. It was curly, full and a thick color of black.
You saw a coffee shop ahead and decided to get some hot coffee. You increased your pace as you entered the shop as a bell jingled from above the door and the warmth in the shop hit you making you relax as you sniffed in the air of freshly brewed coffee.
"uh please can I have a Coffee Frappuccino Grande" You smiled at the lady at the counter who looked like she was done with everyone but then again you didn't care as your life was going pretty well
"that'll be 3dollars and 95cents, it'll be served to you please have a seat" she smiled back but you knew it was forced. You said a "thank you" as you went to take a seat
"here's your coffee. Enjoy" A male said as he dropped your coffee. You eyed him taking in his good looks
"i will now" you mumbled to yourself as you smiled looking at him go back to receive an order. You grabbed the coffee and sniffed in the heavenly aroma of its contents before taking a sip "ahh~~~" you relaxed in your seat doing nothing
your phone vibrated from your butt pocket and you took it out checking what or who it was and smiled seeing your best friend's name appear on the screen

You smiled as you kept your phone on the table and continued sipping your coffee.

You were so engrossed in your coffee you didn't realize a dude clothed in all black with a black colored face mask was seated in front of you
The dude coughed as you slowly looked forward
'my life's going great' you thought to your self which was uncalled for
Done with your coffee you stood up to leave the shop. The dude in black was still seated but with his coffee which had arrived some minutes ago. You looked back to see him as he looked unbothered...
' dude be looking like a soulless human you ain't taking me to hell!.... yet '
were the words you wanted to say but you instead thought to yourself
"The Lord is my Shepard" you mumbled as a strong believer in Christ. You left the shop...
"Gosh I'm broke"
