In This Cruel Game Called Life... (John, Rachael)
Who: John Connor and Rachael Newman
What: John takes a break from job hunting.
When: late Tuesday afternoon, maybe
Where: um... the park, perhaps?
Rating: TBD
Status: In progress
Another long day, and there was just no winning for John Connor.
He'd had one job here, but it had been a temporary one. It had been a construction-type job, one that had only lasted a few days. He'd built something for someone, and then painted their house. That was the only work he had gotten.
Unfortunately, that money was running out, even as much as he'd tried to stretch it.
So, he'd gone out today, searching for a job, and at the end of the day, he'd turned up empty-handed.
Feeling a strong sense of disappointment, John used five of his last ten dollars to buy a sandwich, chips, and a drink at a local convenience store, and headed off to the park to have his slightly early and somewhat meager dinner.
He sat on a bench, thinking deeply as he munched at the food, wondering if and when luck would ever be on his side.
