This is a new writing exercise, by @jeezzle, for all of us aspiring fiction writers. Every day for the next week @jeezzle will be posting a newspaper article without any context behind it.
The point of this exercise is to create a short fiction story based on the headline of the article regardless of what content originally followed it.

Damion was late for work again.
It was the third time this week, and he knew that this time he was gonna get canned. His manager, a short fat man with long hair framing a large bald patch, had already pulled him into his office four times in the last month. And the last time he had made it clear:
"One more mistake, one more dissatisfied customer, one more time you come in late, and it will be the last shift you work for me. Now get out of here and get to work."
Well, if he was gonna get fired, he was gonna make sure it was for a damn good reason.
Damion slipped in the back door of the movie theater. His boss would be up front, probably pacing up and down looking at his watch and cursing under his garlic laden breath. Damion went up to to the screening room and there he swapped over the tapes. He had been saving this for a while. His boss would hit the roof when he saw what was being screened instead of the childrens cartoon.
His work done, he skipped down the stairs. His boss was in the foyer.
“Where the hell have you been, Damion?” he said, spittle flying off his brown-stained teeth. “I warned you. Don’t even bother taking your coat off-”
He stopped mid-sentence mouth wide-open as the doors crashed open and a stream of angry looking parents, dragging their crying children with them, poured out.
“There he is!” shouted a woman, with a haircut that probably cost more than Damion earned in a month.
The crowd surrounded the manager, as Damion slipped away.
Apparently, they had not appreciated the performance of the dirty little bastard in his staring role in his personal porno movie.

The picture is a photo I took of my own fist. I used the phones editor to posterise it and then put a filter and title on it using the app PicSee. I wrote the bones of the story in 5 minutes using the [themostdangerouswritingapp](http://www.themostdangerouswritingapp.com/] and then finished it and edited it in googledocs
