My very first #freewrite (5 minutes)

once upon a time, there was this guy. he had to go to work on Christmas eve, upon leaving his job Christmas morning to get home to his wife and three children, he hit a deer. The whole front of his 2007 toyota camry got smashed up, and he so he called the insurance company for which he had full coverage insurance. they asked for a $500 deductible which he didn't remember being part of the contract whatsoever, but oh well.

fast forward to new year's eve, and he's going back to work. he cannot find a ride to work from anyone, because they are all out drinking and partying. so he decides to try to chance driving the car to work anyway, but he called the employer first to ask if there was any possibility of switching the shift with someone else. the employer got very angry and told him that if he didn't make it to work, he would no longer have a job.

so he gets in the car and tries to drive there before he is halfway there, the car starts overheating and dies on the side of the road. the radiator is all smashed up from the deer, but since it was still cold, he figured he might have a shot of making it. lady luck said no, no, no.

fast forward to a few days later, and he goes to this employer to pick up his last check, hopefully, to pay the deductible and car payment, so that the loan company does not take the car. however, this employer is such an irate piece of shit, that they refuse to pay him, citing that he never paid for his training and orientation, which was never discussed or part of the contract of his employment...

so now he is without a car, a job, and any money- and must go to the courts to fight this employer for the money he is owed... timer up.

true story.
and the subject of the story is me.
if you thought my luck couldn't get any worse, it probably will, before it gets better.

i've asked myself and the universe what I ever did to deserve such things, and I received no answer. all I do is work to support my family and help others whenever possible. clearly the universe is playing some sort of evil trick on me.

thanks for reading.
