Zoe, guitarist, painter, actress and waitress
From Create Your Own Story
You've been working at the "Old Irishman" for three years now. It was supposed to be temporary but none of your other careers seem to be taking you anywhere. Of course you've improved you painting skills a lot since you arrived Monroeville but nobody wants to buy your pictures. The last gig you got as an actress was about opening a door in a lame short for some Film Student that though he was going to be next Georges Lucas, and it wasn't even paid. Your band has been separated for the last 8 months and you haven't been able to find anyone wanting to play with you. As the man said: "Life's a piece of shit when you look at it"
This Saturday afternoon has been really slow. The heat has driven most of the customers away. The usual evening crowd is now gathering in the boothes of the Irish Pub. Selma, your friend and co-worker, has called in sick for the night and you deeply apprehend the next hours. Saturday is never a walk in the park but with one staff down you know it's going to be even worse.
You've been working for two horribly long hours when you notice a tall black guy entering the Bar. It's not that he is particularly handsome or anything but something in the way he stares at you makes you uneasy.
You walk to his table.
"What are you having tonight sir?"
He doesn't answer, only smiles. His shirt is stained around the neck yet his clothes seem expensive. He's paler than you thought a African-American person could be. He seems both distant and sharply concentrated on his environment. Something is not right about him but you're unable to pinpoint the exact problem. He's just odd.
"Excuse me sir, what can I get you" You insist.
Finally he whispers:
"Nothing, I'm fine, I'll just seat here for a moment"
"Sir, I'm sorry but you'll have to order something. House policy"
"No, I won't" He says in a deeper voice.
You walk away from the table completely agreeing with him.
You concentrate on your other customers.
A girl is sitting next to him when you notice him again. He seems to be kissing her neck. She's enjoying it a lot.
You walk past their table a while later.
"Sure you still don't need anything?" you ask.
"Why don't you join us". He offers.
The girl is giving you the same feeling as him. Her neck is stained with black spots as well and she looks a lot paler than earlier. She grins at you revealing a pair of really long canines.
Do you join them?
Or do you try to resist the urge to please them?
