This choice: She spots you, begins the long difficult task of freeing you • Go Back...Chapter #9Working Overtime by: Unknown “OH MY GOD!” Mary screamed, causing the woman to jump back in surprise. “THERE HE IS!!!” Tears of joy flowed from Mary’s face, and she rubbed your poor, flat, beaten body affectionately. The woman stood behind her and peered at the seat, and saw the faintest outline of a face.
“Huh. I guess I didn’t look close enough.” The supervisor sighed. She still thought that Mary was crazy, but there clearly was something stuck to the seat, and she didn’t want Mary to sue the park for damages.
“We’ve got to free him!” Mary exclaimed, and picked away at your body with her fingernails, but wasn’t able to find purchase on your micro-thin body.
“Hold on miss.” The supervisor pulled Mary to her feet. “It’s going to take a long time to free this thing from the seat. Perhaps hours.”
“He’s not a thing!” Mary stomped her foot angrily. “He’s my precious boyfriend.”
“Right. I’m sorry. The point is, you can’t just sit here for hours and free…uh…him. I’ll get one of my employees to do the job. Meanwhile, you can get a good night’s rest in the spare bed we keep in the employee lounge.”
“But…”
“I’m serious about this miss. A trained park employee will be along any minute now to free your…boyfriend…and they will take good care of him.” The supervisor seemed confident enough, and Mary finally calmed down and relented.
“Okay.” She mumbled, tinges of sleepiness finally hitting her. The supervisor led her to the employee lounge, and directed her to the bed. After that was taken care of, she brought out her radio.
“Hey Francesca. Did you leave the park yet.” She asked. A staticy voice responded.
“I was about to. Why?” The girl on the other end sounded fairly annoyed.
“Would you like a huge bonus?”
“What’s the catch?”
“Some girl got what I think is gummy material stuck on one of the roller coaster seats. It’s on there tight. For some reason, it’s precious to her, and she wants it back. I’m trying to avoid a law suit there. Can you work all night on getting that gummy stuff free?”
“ALL NIGHT?” Francesca cried. “This better be a damn big bonus. I’m on my way.”
“You’re a life saver. Have a good night!” The supervisor hung up and headed towards her office. Hopefully this would all turn out okay.
***
Fran arrived at the roller coaster storage room, carrying a big bucket of hot water and a wash cloth. She had a fair bit of knowledge about gummy material, and knew that gummy melted when subjected to intense heat. Her plan was simply to scrub at the gummy with the hot wash cloth until it finally all came off.
Once she spotted your faint outline, she sat down on a stool and got to work. The coarse wash cloth scrapped and scratched at your body, causing you to mentally wince in pain, but it was a far better fate than being a part of this seat for the rest of your life. You focused yourself, trying to take your mind off of the pain, because you knew you were in for a long night.
Fran had gotten to work at midnight, and it wasn’t until six in the morning that she had finally broken the invisible seal that had been holding your body. She had taken only two breaks, and had worked like a machine to try and free you. Almost instantly, your gummy body reflated an inch, and was quickly and efficiently dissolved by the hot water and sucked up into the wash cloth.
Francesca, who was struggling to keep her eyes open, smiled dully at seeing your body be sucked up into the wash cloth, as her job was now finally done. Unfortunately, the exhausted girl didn’t remember why she had freed you in the first place, and she simply dropped the wash cloth into the bucket of water and passed out. The wash cloth hung over the edge of the bucket, and you could see Fran’s peaceful, sleepy smile. You began to panic, as you were unable to reform while still contained in this heated wash cloth.
A few minutes later, a girl wearing long tan pants and a green shirt came walking up the stairs, and she rushed over to Fran’s side when she saw her. She coaxed Fran awake and then led the sleep-deprived girl down to the employee lounge. When the strange new girl arrived, she picked up the bucket and placed you onto a cart that was surrounded by two brooms, a giant mop, three spray bottles, and a few trash bags. The terrible truth hit you like a ton of bricks.
“Time to start the day!” The girl said with a happy smile, and she pulled a few levers on a nearby console. The roller coaster rolled back out onto the track, ready for the park customers to arrive in another hour. The girl, who was one of Adventure Land’s many janitors, pushed her cleaning cart into an elevator and down onto ground level, where she wheeled it into a nearby women’s bathroom.
You wiggled and squirmed with all your might, but your miniscule movements were not enough to get the girl’s attention. You looked up at her in horror, her cute face and infectious smile masking the terrible fate she had unknowingly doomed you to. She sprayed the dirty, messy countertops with cleaning fluid, and then dunked the wash cloth containing you into the hot water. As she raised you back out, your blurry eyes were able to read her nametag, which said “Hailey”.
Hailey slammed you down onto the counter, and began to thoroughly use you to scrub the crusty countertop of the women’s bathroom. She applied so much pressure that bits of your body leaked out of the wash cloth, and spiraled down the drain. You mentally screamed and cried for someone to save you, but there was no one around to answer your call. Hailey tormented you for the next hour, rubbing and wiping every dirty and horrid surface in the bathroom.
When she was done, she dunked you back into the bucket and wheeled her cart out into the park. Guests had arrived, and a new day had truly begun. Hailey headed off to the next bathroom, taking you with her. You mentally cried, wondering how you would escape this mess. Would anyone ever find you? Would you be able to reform? How big would you be when you reformed, as a decent amount of your gummy body had been sucked down the drain? These questions and more plagued you as Hailey continued her shift, pushing her cart all around the park.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
