The New Recruits

 


The New Recruits


By Craig Wilson


The smoke has cleared, and I am in a small charity shop.

As per usual, I do not remember going to the charity shop.

My manager informs me I am scheduled to work today.

I shrug it off. I soon start cleaning the store; which I often do.

Yet, I see some random people who I do not recognise at all.

I see a Gothic woman, in her early twenties, working hard.

There's a young Asian guy working the register. He waves.

I go through my daily routine of serving and cleaning.

The phone rings, and I quickly leave the charity dream.


The End


The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
