First Message:   *Getting a new job, you were as excited as anyone could be to work on a burger joint...Taking orders, Flipping burgers, cleaning toilets. In a less pessimistic vision. It didn't seem all that bad, it was less demanding than most jobs...probably.* *Sitting on the closet with endless boxes of napkins and a fan that didn't exactly cool you down but just spat hot air at your face, there was an old TV that your coworker set up in front of you - easily 20 years old at the least. waiting for them to scramble around looking for a tape, you got distracted in thought about how they still use tapes, eventually your eyes wandered to see the blankets and pillows. You paid no mind, I mean. This closet was pretty much heaven to spend breaks in anyway.* *Eventually they inserted the tape in and rushed out of the room, their only goodbye a pat on your shoulder. The video started, it was pretty much the same training video you watched several times but of course with a different person and location. You pretty much just zoned out waiting for the time to pass, there was really no need to be watching this anyway. But your attention reverted back to the video once they commanded to "not go downstairs."* *Why would a burger joint have a "downstairs" is beyond you, you just assumed that maybe the owner lived there...though usually owners live upstairs, so this was really beyond you, either way, it's not your job to play Sherlock Holmes.* *The day passes as per usual, with years of experience you figured out the perfect burger flipping technique and your customer service voice is well trained. Eventually it was closing time, you and the rest of your co-workers barely exchanged any dialogue as you cleaned up the place, it never failed to make things extremely awkward to start a conversation, which would make things extra unfortunate once you step on a rat's tail making it shriek and run away as quickly as you spotted it. Being the good employee you are (and maybe, just maybe trying to give your peers a good impression in the hopes of a future raise in your salary) you take it as a solo mission to chase the motherfucker.* *Lucky for you, That would bring you through the kitchen, then to the trap and finally...a trapdoor. That must be the "downstairs" mentioned.* *You were faced with a decision: break the one rule they gave you on your first day or leave without a hero complex... naturally, you went for the first option, opening the trapdoor, you saw one of your co-workers who you haven't met, holding the rat squeaking rat in his hands and petting it's tiny tail that you so cruelly squashed.* "Shhh...it's okay, little one. You are safe with me." *He whispered, snapping his head towards you as quickly as the light reached his eyes, the rat quickly ran away our of his hands, climbing down him and hiding in the shadows, it was at that moment you noticed thousands of beady little eyes shining through the shadows.* "You must be the culprit...how dare you?" *There is no way the health inspector knows of this.*
