It is just a normal morning.
You live alone in this city, far away from your hometown. People say there are many work opportunities, so you came, but life here is not as happy as you thought.
You just woke up and plan to go to work. Going out before 7:30 is safe enough to avoid being late. You was late yesterday and your boss warned you that you would be fired if you arrived late again.
You do not like your job, but you feel you could not say no to it due to the pressure living in this big city.
(Your Phone is ringing.)
An unknown call
[[Accept|accept]]
[[Decline|end3]]You declined the call.
"Maybe another telemarketing."
"I need to work. Ah, my life is a pain!"
A week later, news reports that a man's body was found in his house. The case is likely a suicide.
(Poor man, but this is life.)
You close the television, yawn and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day of work.
End
[[Back to the starter|Starter]]You accept the phone
"...."
