Cursed By Fate

Carl’s eyes opened before dawn, his body aching from another night on the streets. He quickly got dressed and made his way to the bar, hoping to find some solace in the familiar routine of his morning bath and preparation for the day ahead.

As he entered the bar, the dim lighting and faint smell of stale beer enveloped him, a stark contrast to the vibrant atmosphere of the previous day. He made his way to the toilet, trying to shake off the fatigue and despair that had become his constant companions.

After taking his bath, Carl dressed in the same worn clothes he has been wearing for weeks, his stomach growling with hunger. He knew his salary barely covered his food expenses, and the thought of another long day of work with little to show for it was disheartening.

As he walked out of the bar, Carl noticed a figure waiting for him by the entrance. It was his boss , her kind face filled with concern.

“Carl, dear, how are you doing?” she asked, her voice soft and gentle.

She had noticed how hard he has been trying to survive ever since her husband banned him from staying in the bar .

Carl hesitated, unsure of how to reveal the truth. “I’m managing, ma’am,” he replied, trying to hide his struggles.

His boss nodded, her eyes filled with understanding. “I know it’s tough, Carl. But I hope you are working on finding a solution?” She asked .

Carl knew that he had no solution to find but he lied to his boss that he had one.

” Don’t worry everything will be alright. In the meantime, please take this.”

She handed him a small package containing a sandwich, fruit, and a bottle of water. Carl’s eyes welled up with gratitude as he accepted the offering. It was as if she knew he had nothing to eat for the night .

“Thank you, ma’am. You’re too kind.”

His boss smiled and patted his shoulder. “We’re in this together, Carl. We’ll get through this, I promise.”

On his way out of the bar , Carl began to think of how nice his boss is but he couldn’t explain to her that the money he was being paid was not enough for him .

He had looked around everywhere for another job but he didn’t find any that is of his standard. To apply for most of the job , he needed to tender his certificate to get the job but he had non asides the one that was given to him by the school he attended in their pack and it was useless In the human world because it is not recognized .NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

He was so lucky to get the job he was doing , he still wonder’s why his boss didn’t ask for his certificate before employing him.

Carl sat down on one of the pavements on the street. As he devour the meal and snacks his boss gave, he felt relief that at least one person in the world cared about him , but his relief was short-lived. He thought about his mother and wondered how she was doing, if she was fine and if the news of him going missing had gotten to her .

As he was thinking about his mother, he began to shed tears because he knew she must be going through a lot in the hands of the wicked Alpha Louis. The following morning as he walked to work, he was met with a harsh reality. The streets were filled with people struggling to make ends meet, and Carl was no exception.

As he arrived at the store, he was greeted by his boss’s husband, his face stern and unforgiving. “Carl, I need to talk to you about your performance. You’ve been struggling to meet your sales targets, and I’m starting to question your value to the team.”

Carl’s heart sank, knowing he was already on thin ice. “I’m sorry, sir. I’ll try to do better.” Carl was also aware that his performance had been bad for few days in a role now .

But it was too late. His boss’s husband had already made up his mind. “I’m afraid I have to let you go, Carl. You’re just not cutting it.”

Carl’s world came crashing down. Without a job, he had no way to pay for food not to talk of saving for shelter. He was left with nothing but the clothes on his back pack and the few dollars he has been saving up to get himself an apartment.

Carl was thinking too hard to find out why his boss’s husband sent him away just like that without even considering everything he has been going through. He then recall him talking to someone during a phone call , he was telling the person how the new employee was too close to his wife and how his wife cared so much about him . But Carl never thought the person to be him .

” Or does he think there is something going on between me and his wife ?” Carl asked himself.

As he walked away from the store, Carl felt a sense of desperation wash over him. He had never felt so alone, so abandoned. He wandered the streets, searching for a glimmer of hope, but it seemed like the world was against him.

Days turned into weeks, and Carl’s life continued to spiral out of control. He was forced to sleep on the streets, fighting for scraps to eat and struggling to stay safe. His once bright future was now a distant memory, replaced by the harsh reality of poverty and despair.

And to make matters worse, the police were cracking down on homeless people, and Carl was arrested for loitering. He was thrown into a cell, his spirit broken and his hope all gone.

As he sat in the darkness, Carl couldn’t help but wonder if things would ever get better. Would he ever find a way out of this nightmare, or was he doomed to suffer forever? Only time would tell.
