Game Overs Happen Sooner Than Later

That 3 Letter Word

That 3 Letter Word

May 06, 2019

“So… uh… wait… what do you mean as in disappoint? Like… in anything or…?” I ask hoping I’m not mistranslated. She shoots back immediately, “ANYTHING!! Now give me your controller and go get a JOB!!” UGGGGHHHH!!!! Now THAT’S something I NEVER want to hear. That 3 letter curse word. J… O… B… those letters should never be in the same word with each other.

“But, why? It’s summertime, I still trying to relax from the long school year. This is my break time!” I said, trying to excuse it. Mom comes back with, “Well, not anymore! Are you going to make me enforce making you pay rent to live in my house?” “I’M ONLY 16!! YOU CAN’T DO THAT!!” “Uhh… yes, I can! My house, my rules! Now get outside and look for a job before I walk you to your first interview. And you want that, doncha?”

I ran outside with that thought in mind, “Heavens, No! If I was to get a job, I at least don’t want to be embarrassed.” Walking outside, I realized something about my mother. That was the first time she snapped at me like that. Could I be the one that’s in the wrong? “Nahhh!!” I say to myself dismissing that thought in my head. 

Now, what am I going to do… my mother kicked me out of the house until I get a job… I have no intent to get one though… I have no video games to play (man I should have brought that Game Portal)... I’m… lost in life… Maybe I should get a... "NO!! I'm not going to say it!" But should I do it?

(In my head)

Interviewer: "Hello Welcome to the Job Fair, how may I help you today Miss? Would you like an occupation as a maid at the Ramada Hotel?"

Mother: "Oh-ho-ho. I may look like I'm 18, but I'm too old to be wearing frilly mini skirts. Also, I'm married. I don't want to bring work back home. No, I'm here to get my useless son a job... Right here."

Interviewer: "Oh... I see... Well, we have jobs for everyone. Including people suffering from NEET Syndrome. Any work experience or backgrounds?"

Mother: "Pssssh. He plays games all day and bullies the children. His only skill is pushing the right buttons."

Interviewer: "............*heavy breathing*"

Mother: "Th-the other buttons. Not you."

Interviewer: "...............Oh."

Mother: "Why do you look disappointed?"

Interviewer: "Ahem. Well, based on your son's credential I think we have some choices for him. If he passes his Mental and Physical Exam - he would be a great addition to the Navy SEALs."

*The sound of a man-child smashing through a fake door echoes in the background...*

Mother: "...And he has such potential. What a waste."

Interviewer: "Don't worry. We'll take care of it *clicks walkie talkie* Send in the dogs. Caucasian with messy brown bed hair, 5 foot 3, open jacket. Sick'em."

[...In other words, please do your best]

A Story by TazD.
"Some Gameover's happen sooner than you think" is a phrase I've heard said before. I never knew that it would one day impact me.
