Another short story I started working on is called The Time Travelling Janitor. Here is the first page only. Will post the full short story once I am finished.
The Time Travelling Janitor by P.C. Snider
Karl Elliot is a Janitor at a company called ChronoTech Industries. He does the usual Janitor stuff. Sweeps, Mops, Dusts, takes out the Garbage, Recycling. He wishes he could listen to tunes while he cleans. But for some odd reason, his bosses won’t allow him. Other than that he really enjoys the job, gets lots of steps in, and exercise. Doesn’t even have to go to the gym after work.
As a means to overcome the no Music rule he listens to tunes on his break times, he sings a bunch to himself while he cleans, to keep himself entertained. He sings them quietly hoping no one hears him. Or sometimes he hums them.
His favorite tunes are from the 1990s era. Punk, Grunge, and Metal. He does listen to a bunch of older songs as well but that is his overall favorite decade of Music.
At ChronoTech Industries there are a lot of cubicles for the Software Programmers that are working on various projects. He never finds out any as they seem to be very confidential about their work.
Every day he wonders more, and more what they are all working on.
