Literary device short story
Glen woke up for work on a gloomy, Tuesday morning feeling very moody. It wasn’t something that made him mad, he just was moody. Glen didn’t want to get out of bed, but Glen’s boss Kendrick had very strict rules and told Glen on his first day of work that if he missed work, or was late to work three times, he would be fired. Glen had already missed work twice because he had the stomach flu, but this time there was no excuse for being late. Work at Dunkin Donuts started at 7:00 and Glen was supposed to pick up his friend Pat that worked with him at 6:50. Glen didn’t want to make Pat late too, but he just didn’t want to get out of bed. Finally five minutes later, Glen got out of bed and got ready as fast as he could because he really didn’t want Pat or him to lose his job. As Glen was leaving the house, he got a call from Pat. “Where have you been, I have been waiting for you to pick me up for 10,000 minutes” said Pat. Glen felt really bad now and told Pat that he would be there in five minutes. By the time Glen picked up Pat, work had already started. Pat started to cry a river because he was going to lose his job. Glen had never done anything this bad before and was super upset with himself. Finally, when they got to work they ran inside. Kendrick of course had his mad face on. “Boys, meet me in my office now!” Kendrick screamed. When they went in to Kendrick's office, Kendrick was yelling so loud it sounded like fireworks. Kendrick finally after all the yelling said the word “fired”. This one word changed Pat and Glen’s lives. The boys walked out feeling very sad. Pat was crying even more now and Glen knew it was all his fault. When they got in the car Glen said “don’t worry Pat, I promise I will make it up to you.” When Glen dropped Pat off Glen knew that he needed to do something so he wouldn’t loose Pat as a friend forever. When Glen got home he went searching to find open job opportunities for him and Pat. Glen searched for an hour until he finally found what he was looking for. Glen applied him and Pat for the job and waited a couple of days to hear back. Finally, three days later he checked his email and it said “ Pat and Glen, congrats! You guys start tomorrow!” Glen finally could tell the news to Pat. Glen called up Pat, but it went straight to voicemail. Glen couldn’t tell if Pat was mad at him or if something was wrong with Pat. Glen decided to go over to Pats house to check on him, and see if he was ok. When Glen got there the lights were on and the garage was open so it seemed like everything was ok. Pat's house was very big and had lot of rooms so Glen needed to find Pat. Glen went into the house through the garage and found Pat watching TV on the couch. “
Hi Pat” said Glen.
“Ahhhhh screamed Pat, you scared me.”
“Sorry, I just wanted to let you know that I got us a job at Mcdonalds, and we start on the job tomorrow!”
Pat was so happy that he gave Glen the biggest hug.
“Thank you” said Pat.
“That's what friends are for” said Glen.
The next day the boys started their new job and had the best of times.
