Day One 22:30
I sighed after a hard day at work. People as they say work so they can eat. I wonder what was going on in Adam and Eve's mind after eating the apple if the bible stories were really true. Like seriously!? If only they hadn't eaten the fruit of knowledge. They could've just lived on the garden of Eden. Free of worries, free of struggles, free of conflict, just doing the job the "BIG MAN" as I wanted to call Him handed to them.
I sighed again.
"What's with the sighing?" Bennie asked. "Oh nothing" I replied. "Just me contemplating the wonders of the universe." I added.
"No shit?" He replied. "Well you know, was just thinking. Are we really just cogs in a machine? Work, sleep, eat. I mean what's the reason for all of this?" I replied.
"Yeah, we got a word for that. Being delusional." he replied with his two hands mimicking the quotation sign.
"Fuck you." I smirked while flipping him.
Bennie is a good guy. He's my best friend since childhood. He is like any novel or movie best friend troupe out there. Loyal to the end. I don't know why we clicked ever since we were children. Him being a bad guy me being the good guy. He always rope me into trouble and I'm the one bailing us out and when I needed some muscle to sort things out he always delivered his so called "maximum violence" towards any poor souls who thinks they can shit on us.

"They said it's getting bad." He interjected. "Bad what?" I replied. "They said they are locking down the border." He added.
"Locking it down? What seriously? How are we suppose to nag some hoes when we can't cross the border?" I added. " Fuck. Most of us are all sexually frustrated here man. I mean there are some women but fuck, I don't want to fuck those rabbits."
"Pffttt!!!" Bennie choked. "You seriously are picky. What are you holier than thou?" He replied. "Nah. I'm just pragmatic. How would you feel fucking someone who's been fucked by every other men every other night?" I replied.
"Good point." Bennie replied.
As I gazed in the mesa in front of me looking over the railing. I sighed while drinking my hot coffee thinking if everybody was wishing that something big would happen. Like world war 3 for example. Sure it's an apocalypse but hey I'll be dead before that. I laughed in my mind while gazing towards the city lights in the distance. A few kilometers nearest the border at where we work.
And then a flash.
"Oh fuck.."
