Wolf Play : Strawberry Fields x Silent Creek

Millie sat down in her little corner of a massive corporate office, twiddling her thumbs and staring at a blank screen. The bored look on her face said it all. Get me out. She fiddled with a pen, clicking the top of it all the time, causing a few colleagues to look over at her with an annoyed look. She rolled her eyes, leaning back on the desk chair, staring at the artificial ceiling lights and closing her eyes for just a couple of seconds.

"Danson!" A voice shouted, booming over her. Millie jolted open her eyes to see her boss, who was very very angry. "If I catch you sleeping on the job again, you're fired!" He snapped, storming off and slamming his office door. Millie groaned, leaning forward and trying to get some work done. Her job was so boring, just filling out bits of paperwork that nobody else wanted to do. It was for a big computer company, but her role seemed so insignificant. There must be more to life than staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Millie couldn't concentrate, standing, sitting down and doing anything but the job she was paid to do.

That's it. Millie thought, she had enough savings to throw her life away that she worked so hard to achieve. She missed the simple things in life like walking along the beach and getting coffee from a local cafe. They were mundane to her now. She forced her way through the crowds of people who were stood aimlessly at a printer, watching the paper slide out of the machine like robots, and she banged loudly on her boss' office door.

Before she was even told she could come in, she pushed the door open with a loud entrance. "I quit!" She shouted, spinning around and walking away with purpose. God that felt good. She was grinning from ear to ear, picking up her things from her desk as her boss was shouting profanities at her. Millie wasn't even listening, she just strolled happily out of the office and didn't even look back.

Even though it's early, the regulars have trickled into the bar. Chance watches from behind the counter, scrubbing glasses — one of his coworkers was supposed to do it yesterday, but they had to dip out early, hence the reason Chance is doing it — and whistling a quiet melody under his breath.

A balding man walks up and props his arm up on the counter... which Chance also just cleaned... but he smiles at the older man anyway.

"Thanks for watching Charlie for me the other day, Chance! I really appreciate it,"

"No problem, Mr. Brewer! It was my pleasure, I needed the workout." If you could call getting dragged by a-hundred-and-fifty pound Great Dane a 'workout.' Not to mention the dog chewed up the cushions of Chance's sofa, but that's ok! Anything to help a neighbor.

The man orders a beer and Chance pours it quick as lightning, sliding it over to him. He goes on about his daily routines as always. Chance listens. Of course, he's never asked about his day, but he doesn't mind!

Not that Chance believes he has any right to mind. It's his job to listen, offer advice, and not have that be reciprocated. It's the natural order of things, but it's okay. Chance doesn't want it to change, he likes to help in any way he can.

Chance goes back to cleaning the glasses. Then the grey and wispy-haired Mr. Lawson stumbles in and rants to Chance about how he knows that today is the day his wife will finally come back.

"I'm sure she will, Mr. Lawson. But hey, if she doesn't, at least you still have all your friends here."

Mr. Lawson repeats that he knows she'll come back today and goes to join Mr. Brewer at the table he's now sitting at. Chance shakes his head good-naturedly. Yep, he loves his job. Loves the people. Do they love him back? Eh... but it's okay. Everything's fine. He wouldn't change a thing.

Millie smiled as she walked toward the lift, pressing the button and adjusting her button shirt. At this point, her boss had forgotten about her and continued with his work. She felt extremely satisfied with what she was doing, although she did feel a little scared about what would happen in the future. However, she knew she was doing the right thing. The thought of going back to her boring job and boring life was going to kill her.

As she entered the lift, she pressed the button to go down. As the shaft lowered, she leaned against the wall and sighed softly. What was she doing? She had a stable life, stable income and the thought of potentially being homeless with no money terrified her. But what was life without adventure and uncertainty? She exited the lift and walked to her car that was sat in the car park. After fiddling with the keys, she unlocked her car doors and sat inside. For a moment, she just sat there, her mind dwindling. Where should she go? What should she do?

Then, Millie had the brave idea. Her home town, her roots. The town she remembered for being so quaint and boring, but maybe now, she may enjoy the little things in life. She hadn't been there for 5 years. Things might be different. She googled it and put the location in her sat nav. 4 hour drive. She sighed with relief, and set off driving to her new destination.
