Angelica Vale, The New Boss

The New Boss by Angelica Vale

it was a monday morning . Time for me to get ready for work . I was with my friends Ivan and Austin . All together, we were best friends, and we decided to be at the same job to have each other’s back every time in case we needed help . We drove around at work and started typing and getting calls from other people that needed anything . However, there was something different, and there were changes with our new boss .

“Have you heard a new boss is coming here and hiring?” Ivan said .

“Look, I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like there will be worse changes than before . He looked like he’s gonna plan something like murdering or something . I feel like a nightmare from my bed is gonna start if I sleep,” Austin said .

At first, I never believed him, but thinking of what he said made me wanna go back and reverse that line one last time before it all started . I was completely confused and had no clue where to meet our new boss . But then, the clock rang and all of us went to a meeting room .

“Alright everyone, my name is Lukas and I’M your new boss . Now, everything will change and we will listen to WHATever I say . ”

Ivan whispered in my ear, “I can tell he already sounded very rude . Don’t you think we should start quitting this job?”

I felt like I wanted to quit this job too, but we hadn’t tired of him being our boss . For a while and soon after, we started to go back and finish what we left off .

Something was making me shake . I had goosebumps crawling over my skin that wanted to take over my body and devour it . I felt like a terrible chapter was gonna start with Lukas .

Over a month passed, and half of the workers were gone and had not even come back ever since he came around . But as I was walking, Ivan was running away .

He shouted to me, “ALEX! ALEX ALEX! Can I talk to you? IT’S

IMPORTANT AND I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!” The way he said it, it sounded like he saw something really awful, something he wished he couldn’t see again after an horrible experience . “ALEX PLEASE WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS JOB RIGHT NOW!”

“Huh?” I was confused and I asked him why .

“THESE WORKERS AREN’T LEAVING, most of these workers are dying and getting killed by our new boss, we need to call the cops . Now!”

I was thinking that he would pull this as a prank . Ivan was the type of guy that liked to make pranks like this, even in a job . “Ivan, are you joking right? It seems like you’re joking about stuff like this as you always do .”

“Alex . . . I’m not lying . Not this time, I really saw it without me knowing . I got screenshots too, to be honest . They are getting killed everyday . No wonder why they are gone because of that . ”
