Recluse
Just as all your other days starts, you get up from your bed, brushed your teeth, cooked an instant noodles, and started to scroll through TikTok. You’ve never been out your apartment ever since your parents died, all you have to eat is instant noodles that you receive through delivery. Your money is running out, hence you planned to work for a month. There is a diverse range of jobs available for you to choose in the app for people who’s looking for jobs. Finding it difficult to decide, you started a game of Valorant.
“Dammit, these stupid teammates.” You said as you smashed the table after losing a game, you glanced at the window, it’s already dark outside, after playing for several hours without noticing. You went for cans of beers, then drank all of them. The alcohol made you feel tired and sleepy, you reluctantly driven your body to the bed and decided to look for jobs tomorrow.
You awoke as you smelled the smell of smokes. You took a look around and find the building on fire. Fortunately, the door is not blocked by the flames, you rushed out and went downstairs out into the street. Later, the firefighters arrived and put out the fire. The cause of the fire was said to be a candle dropped by a old man who tripped after hearing you smashed your table. Although you survived, you lost all your valuables. You were forced to leave the apartment you’ve been living in for years. Without a job or any remaining money, you became a homeless. Now you can only look for leftover foods in trash cans and live in cramped alleys. You regret being a recluse, not look for jobs earlier, or smashing the table for just losing a simple game.
