The ad
My shoes press against the soft wet grass of the graveyard as I make my way through endless rows of tombstones
I grip the bouquet of flowers in one hand as my bestfriend Samantha walks with me
We both finally stop at a tombstone marked 'adam' on the edge of the cemetery
"Thank you again for coming with me Sam."
"I'm your bestfriend eve,dont mention it."
I gently place the flowers on his grave,propping the stems against the tombstone
"You do this every week?"she asked
I nod making sure the flowers don't fall before standing back up
"I'm unemployed,so I've got nothing else to do."
"You've got a degree from harvard,you'll find one soon,i know it."
"Still....being unemployed is so...sad."
"Adam would be so disappointed in me."
"Stop that.y you know it's not true,y our great."
"Thanks,sam."
A silence fall between both of us as I stare at the tombstone,a bird Squawk's in the distance
"Do you know how Adam died."she said
"No one does,the doctor said suicide but I don't...know."
"Some crazy people kept saying it was Bigfoot or something supernatural.not like that matters."
"I'm sorry Eve,i know he was your only family left."
I wipe my eyes,tears slowly building
But as I do I notice a small business card propped along Adams tombstone
What's this?
I pick it up,the sharp corners of the indented card pressing into my fingers,i read the hand written note scribbled on the card
'for many years,d death is only the beginning...
Next to the Mysterious line is a insignia that appears to be two fangs around dried blood
Huh,what is this doing on my brothers tombstone?
I toss it aside
A drop of rain splashes against my cheek,i wipe the water away looking up to the sky
"I should probably head back."
I spin on my heels and head home
I walk through the quiet street,a blister forming on my left heel
The streetlights flicker on as dusk settles
What am I going to do?I lost my job...I barely have saving...
I stop walking bending down to adjust my shoe,i almost fall catching myself with the trashcan next to me
The blister burns as I pull my sock back.i stand back up
Before I keep walking something inside the trashcan catches my eye
It's the today newspaper,probably tossed away by some businessman too preoccupied with himself to recycle
I pull the paper from the top of the garbage,reading the page it's turned to
It's a wanted for work section
That's funny...whats the chance of of this paper is turned to that section right as I need a job
One wanted ad sticks out,a almost as if the ink is dancing for my eyes
"Assistance needed for unique firm."
"Must be willing to work at night,t ravel and live on the site."
"Strong stomach a perk,compensation generous,will train."
"If you are reading this your the person we are looking for."
Below the ad was I phone number but no name,i stare at the ad in shock
What kind of wanted ad is this?no information on the job?no credentials?,nothing?
Besides the fact that it basically says nothing about the job
"Whatever.i need the job even if.this ends up being a freakshow.i be got nothing to lose."
Sighing I pull out my phone and dial the number listed on the ad
"Night firm how my I direct your call."
