The Reckoning


This story should probably come with a �language� warning for those who do not like a generous peppering of expletives!

The central character�s continual dispirited �I�m not supposed to be here�, reminds me of Dante in �Clerks�, every time something shitty happens, Dante says �I�m not even supposed to be here today�.

Lots of crummy things happen in this story, its about every job you�ve ever had that you hated, with every unreasonable, inhuman boss you�ve ever had, and ever whining, unattractive co-worker you�ve ever despised, those intolerable working conditions and the sheer futility of it all.

If you�ve never been there, this will take you there, and if you have it will take you back.

Is this the story of one man�s living hell, or the real thing? You be the judge.
