I saw the man standing outside the employee entrance door
through the security glass. He had a big grin on his face like he was about to
sell me a car. I took a deep breath as I pushed the door open just enough to
let myself outside. He stood there and the door closed behind me. “Hey, how are
you doing?” he asked still smiling broadly.
“Good. Have a good night” I said as I moved past him briskly.
He starts to follow me.
“Hey!” he calls out.
“Yeah?”
“Do you want to be [dramatic pause] a star?”
“Eh.” I said indifferently.
“I will make you a staaahh.”
“Oh?” I said feigning interest as I stepped backwards while
looking at him.
“Nah. You don’t have what it takes to be a stah.”
“Aww.” I said crestfallen.
In a related
note my place of employment has a psych unit.
