-Hey, didn't I tell you to finish the job quickly? Since I see you didn't, it looks like you'll be working overtime.

-Sir… you told me to wait for Gary to send me the documents, but… he didn't.

-The man looks at Gary who seems to be getting ready to leave the office without a care in the world. Gary was the most important worker in the company, generating 25% of the sales team's profits all by himself. To think that someone like him could have made such a simple mistake was beyond anyone's imagination.

-Stop trying to blame Gary and get your overtime. And you better have it by tomorrow morning or I'll cut your miserable salary, you hear Alexander?!

-Understood, boss….

Some time later they all left leaving the miserable Alexander alone, you would think that this is something that rarely happens. But for Alexander, this was always the way of life. He was always at the mercy of others, he wasn't very good-looking, he had no money, and his physique left much to be desired.

-At least I have money for beer.

This was the only escape Alexander had from his routine of waking, working, and sleeping. On days when he didn't have to work, he could get drunk to escape that reality. He didn't care about the sobriety, he only cared about escaping this miserable reality he had.

After several hours of work, he was able to finish all the work he had and did not have to do. So he closed the office and looked at the time on his cell phone. It showed that it was 3 a.m., so knowing that he would not have to work tomorrow, he decided to go to a store that was open 24 hours a day.

As he walked, he tried to remember how his life had fallen into this void. He was a good boy, he thought he would be rewarded for being a good person, but he had nothing but disasters in his life.

He was bullied in high school. He went to a university, but could not finish his thesis because his mother's surgery went wrong. After that he met the one he thought would be the love of his life, but she just cheated on him and got him into a stupid divorce. He thought he would do well in his job as a salesman in the Blue Tiger office, but he was just used as a sycophant for others.

-It seems that not all good people are rewarded. This one says this to himself to give himself some spirit for his morale when he arrives at the store.

-Good evening. Where is the hard liquor?

-The hard liquor is in the fridge on the left.

Following the man's instructions, Alexander begins to search the fridge for something to set himself free. Tonight he would like some natural beer, but with a high alcohol content. So he decides to take three of them and goes over to pay for them.

-Here you go, how much is it?

-200 dollars.

Alexander takes out his wallet and starts looking for the money, it wasn't like he had much to look for. While he was looking, the door opens and the person who just came in stands at the bar next to Alexander.

-Hey, sir, where's the booze? -The person asking the question was a pretty blonde girl who caught Alexander's eye because she looked like a high school girl.

-After all, the girl's appearance was undoubtedly that of a high school girl.

Alexander is just as interested as the shopkeeper, it's more than obvious that the girl doesn't look like an adult.

-I see what's going on here. Here's my ID. -The girl begins to take something out of her purse to hold in front of the clerk's eyes, "As you can see, I came of age yesterday.

The salesman of the store that everything is legal and returns the ID to the girl, -Well, seeing that there are no problems, the drinks are in this cooler.

Alexander can't believe that a girl who just came of age yesterday is already drinking alcohol. In his mind it fills him with some anger at this youth of now. So he decides to leave the shop.

-It's still a long way home…, Somewhat depressed, he decides to sit on the balcony outside the store and start drinking his drinks there, at least two or one and the others he would finish them at home.

-He tells himself this, it was the only thing that filled him up.

-The girl who had been in the shop came out with two bags of alcohol. Alexander's face was astonished to see that a girl had come of age, yesterday she had so much money, even more than him (Surely her parents are rich, ha! Lucky girl). This one thought to himself angrily, took another bottle and started to drink it. But… why doesn't she leave?

This one, while drinking, sees the girl standing in the doorway, playing with her phone. No matter how you look at it, it was something strange, growing curiosity in Alexander.

-Hello doll! Have you been waiting long?" three men approached the girl, who had a set of something fashionable for young people now, "No, I just came out of the store.

Alexander looked at the scene a little surprised, how could the pure figure of the girl be so close to those guys who looked like gang members?

-All right, Agustin, Marcus, let's go! -He grabs the girl's bags and pushes her so that she can leave quickly, it looks like a scene of boys enjoying their youth. But for Alexander it was a completely different story.

(Would they make her do that?). -In Alexander's mind, someone who may have suffered, this is a typical scene of forcing a person who doesn't want to do something bad to do it. That would explain why the girl looks so different from the other three in the group.

(But… What should I do? If I call the police, it will take too long and they won't find her. I know this because I always called them when they did this to me in high school, but they never showed up on time).

This one was in a knot in his mind, he didn't know what to do to help this girl enough with the bullying. Besides, those guys looked suspicious, they might do something to that girl.

-What if I help her myself? -An idea of justice went through Alexander's head, knowing that the police wouldn't come and stop the boys. After all, he was an adult, they should listen to him. But he still lacked courage.

-Luckily I have you, my friend. -He saw the remaining bottles of alcohol and decided to drink them all, gaining the confidence he needed.

Full of energy, he began to follow the group. At such a distance that they would not notice that he was following them. Still, his physique wouldn't allow him to do more.

The minutes passed and he was still following the group at a slow pace, never losing sight of them. (They haven't stopped anywhere yet, it seems the party is quite far away). -He was getting tired and thought about abandoning the mission. Maybe if they were a bunch of kids enjoying their youth (Huh…? Where are they going?).

As if the sky was telling Alexander that his suspicions were not in vain, the group had turned into an alley. (Or not… maybe they plan to do something to the girl there). -He hurries and accelerates his pace, as fast as he can, until he reaches the alley.

-Hello? Is anyone here? He decides to call from inside the alley because it's very dark and he can't see very well. All he had to do was find the young men and threaten them. He was the adult, he was sure they would hear him.

-Well, what kind did we catch you at? -A voice is heard behind Alexander. It was the voice of the same boy as before, so Alexander turns around.

-What do you mean by that? That should be… Alexander's words are cut off as he sees the girl hugging the boy with a frightened look on her face.

-Is that him, honey? -If it is, he was the man who watched me in the store and followed us.

Alexander's gaze changed drastically as he listened to the girl. If you look at it that way, the girl was right. He has been following her all this time, he must look like the villain in this situation.

-So, what do you have to say about why you've been following my friend? You like her, don't you? -The boy approached, preparing his knuckles to attack Alexander.

(Shit!!!, I just got myself into a huge mess, what am I supposed to do? If I don't explain the situation to them, I'll end up being a criminal here. I should explain to him like the adult I am.)

-It seems that there is an error here, you will see what happens is... -But before Alexander could finish his explanation, he was punched in the face. More precisely, in the nose.

-Hey, that bastard's mouth smells like alcohol, I really wanted to do something today!

Alexander had fallen to the ground, he had never fought before, it was the first time he received such a painful punch. He tried to get up, but was immediately kicked in the stomach by the boy.

-!!! Come on, bitch, get up, with that strength, were you thinking of taking advantage of my girlfriend?! -The young man, still angry, kept hitting Alexander without being able to defend himself!

(This young man does not intend to stop, I have to escape somehow) -This one, carried away by his survival instinct, decides to grab a stone and throw it at the boy, hitting him in the face.

-Damn, son of a bitch!!!, -This was Alexander's chance and he knew it. So with what little strength he had left, he stood up and took the boy to the ground to hold him there.

Alexander had held him by the neck without being able to breathe, this was a victory for him, but he felt a strong pain in the back of his neck. (What? - what was that?) Alexander's eyes look back. It is the girl with the stick in her hand, who delivers another blow to his neck.

Alexander's body loses all its strength and falls to the ground while blood can be seen behind him. Was it his body that was bleeding, one of the many questions that went through Alexander's mind at that moment. A moment that felt very slow.

-Damian, are you all right? -The young man stands up and looks at his girlfriend who is worried about him. -Yes, I am, but…

When they came to, all the young men were stunned to see Alexander's body on the floor. They began to argue, but Alexander could not understand what they were saying, his vision became blurred. He could barely see as the young men ran out of the alley.

(Wow, is this how it ends?). In conjunction with Alexander's declaration of death, his body began to feel cold, that was the cold of the rain falling to send him off.

Several happy moments passed in his mind. But this one remembered more the bad ones, seeing the life that everything to him, seriously it was a miserable life.

-God, if you are listening… Why me, what have I done to deserve this life?

With his last remaining strength, Alexander said these words as he slowly closed his eyes.

[Why you?]

But before Alexander's flame of life was extinguished, he heard a dominating voice answer him. He thought he was delirious before he died, but to his surprise.

[I'm going to answer you!]

!!! The voice answered him again!
