Lift the box, pull out the files, sort by category and then sort by date. Scan each document, save the scans to the file backup server and then take the sorted files and place in the appropriate filing cabinet in the basement. Mark could see why someone would give up such a well paying summer job, he had literally gotten banged up  from falling into a daze doing the filling and almost fall down the stairs or walking into walls. Mark was dreaming filling and having nightmares of endless boxes of folders. He sighed deeply and grabbed a new box.

He couldn’t completely grow up and went out of his way to stay as much the same as could. For the last six years he had looked up at the sky and searched for the distantly familiar red tear he had found back then. George was a normal enough kid back then, he’d wander all over the town and forest because no one really stayed at home long enough to really watch him. Back then his naive ten year old self had seen the strange shimmering red tear in the air and approached it curiously. The tear was easy enough to get though and he arrived in a strange place with red sky and purple grass that stretched into a forest with tall thin trees

The residents of the small town of Sweetwater Springs were talking and a not a single person was being left out.  Mr. Bigbad Wolf was running for mayor and Sheriff Hood and her three little deputy Pigs were not happy. “How could this happen!?” Exclaimed the first deputy Pig to the others. “This is a disaster, what are we going to do!?” Shouted the second deputy Pig. “We need to do something about this sheriff.” The third deputy Pig stated calmly.

Andrew spent the whole return trip moaning in pain. “Life changing they said; unforgettable they said.” He supposed he was being whiny and immature but he hadn’t wanted to come on this trip in the first place, it was all his brother’s fault.

The teacup was fragile. The quiet clinks of the cups echoing through the grey room as they clanked against the saucers and the hushed whispers of conversation. Together with the dolls and the playmate. That day the tea was warm and vermillion. The dolls were small and cold. The playmate was cold. Her pretty dress was crimson. Her perfect fingers gripped the cup loosely. He carefully reached across the table and adjusted her fingers. "Careful. Don't spill it on your dress."
