Prompt: A person starts receiving their daily horoscope in fortune cookies - and they're unnervingly specific and accurate.
Just another lovely day of the same 'ol same 'ol drab scenes and drawl of sounds. Ah, the sounds of life. Time to get up , get dressed and get on with it.
Seriously, what is the point of this tie, omg I can't even. Know what , boss lady will just have to deal.
Ok, time to go.

Huh?
Must be one the apartments kids that dropped a snack in front my door. Oh, nope someone's fortune cookie fell out of their take-away? Guess I will see what it says.
Wear the tie or this won't be your only warning. You should look to your left before crossing the street at 4pm or you will lose your chance to meet
To meet who? What the hell, they didn't consider how small these papers are.
Shit, I am going to be late. Hmmm, maybe take the tie. No, don't be ridiculous man.
"Johnny boy!"
"It is Steven, misses Kavoch."
"Yes, yes. I took the liberty of already writing your warning. Be a good boy now Johnny boy and wear a tie tomorrow or you will be suspended for disorderly conduct. Ciao."
What a damn...
"Oh and Steven. Don't test me."
Ridiculous, these damn corporates. Whatever, just need to focus. Do my work and stay out of her way. How she has not been fired yet I will never understand. This is basically harassment at this point. Imagine that, some dude complaining about harassment. Gah. I will leave it.

Dammit man. Who left this here. Damn slobs, littering by peoples desks.
Huh?
Another damn fortune cookie. What are the odds. Now let's see.
`the pretty brunette who will help you find a new job.'
Well that is bloody weird. Who is leaving these, and why are they so odd. The previous one was correct about the tie though, but if this is a prank then it doesn't take a genius to know I am under fire for forgetting my tie often.
They would just have to wait for the next time I leave without it. Although the cookie was already by the door. Was it? Maybe they saw me going to the door first. They are watching me? This is crazy.
"Johnny boy!"
Ah shit, nah man, walk walk , quick, pretend you don't hear. Hmmm, I can turn down the back passage and head out the side. I don't have time for her nonsense now. Just keep walking.
Maybe this will be the beginning of a mini story, I will have to see. The prompt came from the Daily Prompt Newsletter sent out by @shadowspub - you can get yours here: https://nichelessandlovingit.com/prompt-a-day-subscribe/
