“…..Shiddd, Not Today.”

Tonight is Friday and Marvin was minutes away from his first full weekend off in months. Like any other night he always took the personal elevator up to began at the top floor and gradually work his way down, it was his own way of catching any punk kids pulling pranks on any of the hotel occupants or homeless people trying to sneak and sleep on the floor.


The quiet breeze of the restless night waned on. Moonlight shining through the open windows were the only reason Marvin could see his hands in front of his face. "Damn new kid, can't remember to shut these windows to save his life let alone his job." Marvin said to himself. Clearly irritated, he began to shut the open windows and pull back all the curtains his fellow associate missed. After finishing up his work he took out his old but trusty flashlight, giving it a couple good smacks before the bright light shined down the highway before him and to his surprise there stood a small girl.


"Hey mister, I bet you can’t do this…" The small girl said to Marvin. Or rather that’s what he heard, but how could that be, seeing as the child's lips never moved once. Marvin didn’t like what the situation was turning into. Where'd she'd come from? And how'd she sneak up on him like that? The real question that came to Marvin's mind was where the hell were her parents?! Her body twisted around, her feet facing the wall and her head never moving an inch. She slowly began to walk up the wall until she was completely upside down. She snapped her head to face poor Marvin but to her surprise Marvin had other plans. He was gone.


As the elevator reached the first floor Marvin grabbed his jacket and walked outside into the street to look up into the top floor and to his surprise the girl stared down at him angrily. Taking out his lighter to light the cigarette dancing from his mouth he took a long hit and let out a small chuckle. "….Shiddd, not today." he said to himself as he took off to start his first full weekend he's had off in months.
