Short Shory: "The Glow-In-The-Dark Necktie”

Updated: Jan 31, 2023

Michael walked into the lobby as David was walking and yelling behind him. Everyone gasped in horror when they saw David or heard his voice. Everyone moved out of David's way or flattened themselves against the wall. They all stared, unable to move because they were so petrified of what was going to happen next.

"Michael! MICHAEL!" David screamed as he was following Michael. "I got you the job at Chuck E. Cheese—now I want my glow-in-the-dark necktie BACK!" Michael flinched back as David stepped closer to him with a fist up.

"Okay—okay…! Take it easy, would you…please?" Michael said with a face of horror. Michael's hands were trembling as he unzipped his backpack and immediately gave David his necktie back. "Here…"

David looks at his necktie and sees one drop of stain on it. "What have you done to it—?" David asked, staring at Michael with a face of hell. The windows turn black as the sky becomes covered with clouds. Heavy rain started to fall as a loud flash of lightning struck outside.

"Ummm…I might have accidentally put a muster stain on it while eating a hotdog…" Michael explained with fear. "I'm sorry ab—"

David's eyes became possessed. He let out a deep, furious sigh before grunting and growl loudly. He yanked Michael's shirt, bringing his face close to his face with strong force. "OOOOH—you filthy piece of trash! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU UP SO BADLY TILL I SEE BONES!" David threatened, dropping Michael to the ground by releasing the grip of his shirt.

David was making his way to the exit when Melero walked in. As David was having a terrible day, Melero greeted him with a kind grin and said hello. Melero made a generous offer of $1,000,000 to him in cash. Because Melero was blocking David's way to the exit, David gave him a death glare and punched him flat in the face. Melero falls to the ground, knocking him out unconscious. David spits at him, showing him no respect.

Everyone screamed after witnessing David strike Melero. David turned around to them and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Silence!" Everyone put their hands over their mouths to hush themselves as some teeth chattered. Just as he was about to leave the lobby, he saw a flower pot filled with beautiful daisies sitting next to the door. With one look at the plant, the daisies had turned from a pearly white to an unappealing brown and died right in front of his eyes. David yelled, "I need to get out of here!" David screamed and waved both arms in the air as he ran out of the lobby and went home.
