it was a posh neighborhood ... reeked of wealth and power ...
if the city were a corporation ... this neighborhood would be the ceo ...
he was sitting on the curb ... he was tired ... he was dirty ... and he wanted to go home ... as soon as he finished his cigarette he would head out ... it was going to be a long walk and he needed to rest a little bit ...
he had been working on one of the houses in the area ... he was a construction worker ... the people who had hired him wanted to build a grotto in their pool area ... 'just like the playboy mansion' the man had told him ... but he had no idea what the playboy mansion was ... nor did he care ...
he hated coming here ... he hated everything about this part of town ...
the people seemed so civilized and refined ... but it was all a pretense ... the bastards never offered him so much as a cold glass of water ...
he was still feeling a little bitter about the way the man had yelled at him earlier ... said he was taking too long to finish the job ... called him a worthless dog ... all he could reply was 'yes sir' and 'sorry sir' ... although deep inside he knew that he could easily knock this man out ...
but then he smiled when he remembered the way the man's wife had looked at him when she answered the door ... he'd seen that look in a woman's eyes before and he knew what it meant ... he had even caught her peeking at him through the window a few times while he was working ... that was enough consolation for him ...
and besides they paid well ... and that was why he had come to this dreadful place ...
for the money ...

tayeb bitter fhimnaha .. laish scumbag o_0
lol i knowwwww but.."takes a deep breath", being poor does not justify being a coward, why didn't your hero tell his employer to "fuck off, I don't want your bloody money" when the employer yelled at him earlier?? Taking pride in a sneaky dirty look and accepting it as a consolation prize for his scattered dignity makes me depise him even more!!
I don't envy the rich for being so, perhaps because I did not suffer poverty and probably because I dont' compare myself to them. Everybody has a job to do and must do it the best they can, lamenting and seeking solace in rich people's misery or misfortune is just..wrong :S
inti zalmeeto lal zalameh :p
