OUR MYSTERY WOOD
Ava’s Entry (18/02/22)
“I am tired,” I say with tears rolling down my face.
Alana looks so concerned. I think she tries to reach out to me but suddenly remembers it is a screen and stops. “What happened Ava?” She asks.
It is work. When I got this job, I was so excited. I have always wanted to work with this magazine house. Who would have thought I would regret it. I feel stressed and immense sadness every day I go to work. Even during the weekends, I am not happy. Imagine a place causing you so much pain, and you feel stuck.
I hardly get noticed, some of my coworkers take credit for my work, and my manager is an annoying tyrant. The assignments I am given constantly shock and worry me. No matter how hard I try to manage and find ways to deal with it, I am honestly sad. The worst part is that I am scared of confrontation and shut up when I want to fight for myself. That is why I think I am the only one who truly understands how hard it is for me.
I tell her all this, and she gives me a sad smile. She tells me she does not relate to my kind of work style but has an idea of how it is. “Why not leave then? If it’s affecting you this bad, why put yourself through that?” She asks.
“I need to pay rent. The pay is decent, and it covers my expenses,” I say.
“Will you stay in a place that makes you unhappy because of that? It’s not worth it,” she says.
It truly is not. Thinking about it, I am sacrificing my sanity for this job. I will see what I can do.
Alana’s Entry (18/02/22)
“Let me tell you what happened this morning,” I say.
I start telling her about my day in an exaggerated manner, with sound effects. “So, I woke up this morning thinking it would be like any other day. I was wrong. It all started with the chickens. Usually, Mr David’s chickens are supposed to wake everyone in the town up, but today, they didn’t. It started getting very bright, and we were all so confused. I went to his poultry to check on them, and you will not believe what I saw. Ducks!! The chickens turned to ducks! Someone came into his farm and stole his chickens!”
She starts laughing and urging me to go on. “I understand stealing the chickens, but why exchange them for ducks? Baby ducks. I didn’t know if I should laugh or be concerned, but most people were freaking out.”
“How was the thief able to enter the farm and steal so many chickens without getting caught?” She asks, almost falling off her seat, laughing.
Honestly, I do not know. That is because the story is fake. I just wanted to say something to make Ava laugh. Thankfully it worked.
“I wish I could come over there and help you fight at work,” I say.
Suddenly, a message pops up on the screen with a loud noise. It reads: ‘You can do that tomorrow’. The message disappears.
We look at each other in confusion.
“I think we’re meeting tomorrow?” Ava asks.
“I think so too,” I say.
Once we process what just happened, we scream. I guess I am going to see Ava. I do not even know how it will happen, but the universe will let us know. It brought us our mystery wood and will soon bring us together.
