Today's #flashfiction #TheNextSleepingBeauty

“Seek and ye shall find.”
Waldo* #quote


         CJ is definitely coming over this weekend, and there will actually be two Pokemon card game tournaments for us to nerd out at on Saturday and Sunday. I may speak of the results later because I will probably be writing the stories ahead of time since I won't have time to on the day since I'll be going to the tournament and hanging with him. Anyway wish me luck and onto the flash fiction!


The Next Sleeping Beauty


        The magical lands of robotics R&D at Rowan Technologies Inc. befell a great tragedy. During the last day of an important deadline, a most important employee named James fell to sleep after eating his lunch of a peanut better and jelly sandwich and an apple. The office thought he had been staying up playing World of Witchcraft for too long again. Though normally an average employee today he was most vital to the presentation their division was giving to the upper bosses on their technologies. He knew the most and mastered most of the controls on the robots. If he didn't wake up they would be in trouble.
       They yelled at him, smacked him in the face, shook him, waved more food in front of his face, but nothing would wake the employee. Even pumping obnoxious music loud didn't work wouldn't wake James up!
        Samantha White was not one of the employees that was doing the initial efforts to wake him up. Someone asked her for her help, as if the fact that her being James's crush mattered. (Everybody knew, but James thought no one did.) Perhaps he touch would help?
Samantha walked over to James then poured her still hot, but not scalding, coffee on his head. James woke immediately.
      She growled at him, “Sleeping on the job? You trying to get us all fired? Now wash your hair in the bathroom and get back to work. Like the rest of us.”
