Today's #flashfiction #ThankfulForShoppers

“I'm just following orders.”
Super Mario* #quote


     Today's Thanksgiving so I'll be doing Thanksgiving things! Yay Thanksgiving! I give thanks for thanks giving and and all the things I could give thanks for life, family, friends the material the immaterial, from the ability to feel emotions to the TV in the living room and all inbetween. Really could you ever list all you could be thankful for?

Thankful For Shoppers

        Stores open on Thanksgiving. Shoppers come in, early Black Friday. A sale or two for the Christmas rush. Chaos. Customers all around. Ron dealt with it for the extra pay. He didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. He assumed that the other employees would go visit family when a shift ended or something, but he would work the whole day for maximum pay.
        But a more chaotic day for extra cash? It'd be a less boring day at work. And he could get himself something nicer for Christmas or pay for something else. Due to an accident, Ron had no family to spend Thanksgiving with so he merely clocked in the extra work time and extra pay. Cha-ching. A loner since the accident he really didn't have friends either.
       He felt thankful for the shoppers, since he couldn't feel thankful for family like many others could. Maybe if he got himself a dog for Christmas it would help but maybe he would get himself a fancier bike to help him get to work instead.
