Intervention

"Welcome to Starborgs, how may I help you?"

"I'd like a big cup, decaff, 1/3 almond milk, 1/3 soy milk, two pumps mocha, 2 pumps vanilla, 1 pump caramel, add caramel drizzle and a sprinkle of cinnamon..."

"Here's your order."

"But this is whole milk, I didn't order this. Also, my name isn't on the cup."

"Don't you know your own name?"

"I'm Megan."

"I can't deal with this today. Here, go nuts." The least reliable employee on the campus Starborgs handed the woman an empty cup, took off his apron and abandoned his work post leaving the woman stunned in place.

The man walked across the college campus with a dejected look on his face, keeping his head down as though life weighed too heavy on him. He was right where he always wanted to be and had the job he dreamed about so many times when he was broke, but everything felt empty.
