CHARLIE
“WHERE’S HERE’S MY STORY?” I flip through the newspaper, the paper
crinkling as I go through it once more. Slamming my hands on
the desk, my coworker turns to look at me over our short divider.
“He didn’t include my article,” I tell him.
“Again?” he asks, disbelief in his voice.
I spin in my chair and look at Mark in his office. He leans back in his
chair, feet propped on the desk, laughing at something the person on the
other end of the phone says, unaware that I’m weighing if going to jail
would really be that bad. Pushing up from my desk, I yell out across the
floor.

“Mark!”
The sounds of the office stop. Ringing phones go unanswered. Fingers
stop dancing across keys. I’m making a spectacle, but I don’t care. Mark
looks at me through the glass. I watch as he tells the person on the phone
that he must go while dropping his feet from the desktop. He tries to saunter

out of his office, but he looks like a slimy cartoon villain in his ill-fitting,
black suit.
“What’s the problem, babe?”
I push down my revulsion at the old endearment.
“You didn’t print my story. Again,” I accuse.
“It wasn’t up to snuff. Maybe if you would put some effort into your
stories, they would be printed.” He crosses his arms over his chest and
smirks, expecting me to backdown, but not this time.

“Effort? I spent six weeks researching that story.”
He scoffs, smirking. I can feel everyone’s eyes on me as the insult bangs
around in my head, and I temporarily black out.
“I quit.” I pick my trashcan up and dump the contents on the floor. “Fuck
this, fuck you, and fuck off. I’m done.” With my stomach in my throat, I
snatch things off my desk and shove them into my makeshift box. Mark
scoffs at me, but I ignore him.

“You can’t quit,” he huffs.
I pause my packing to glare at him. “I just did, you moron.”
“You’ll be back, Charlie,” he spins around, addressing the room, “They
always come back. You won’t find a better job in this city.”
I put my purse strap over my shoulder, grab the trashcan, and try to rein in
the desire to stab him with a letter opener. He steps in front of me as I move
out from behind my now empty desk, stalling my grand exit.
Venom pours from my mouth.

“I would sell my plasma before I came back here. Obviously, no one else
has ever told you this, so let me do the world a favor. You are a waste of a
human being. You’re mean, stupid, lazy, and probably the devil incarnate. I
hope you choke on your nightly frozen dinner for one and die.”
