“What are you doing?” said the young lady on the street. She slapped Him across the face. Another loss for Him. He was always told that he wasn’t good enough. Architecture, Music, and Cooking were Him’s Previous jobs. Maybe it was his ridiculous name. His clumsy hands. His loss for words. His big breakdown of a job was Poetry. Apparently you can’t write much about Nevada, his former home. Him now lives in Portland, with his new job, a mime. A stupid choice maybe, but no one had to hear him. No one really knew the source for his depression. He knew it wasn’t medical, or about money or anything. Him was in fact a very rich man. No, the source of his melancholy was simple, loneliness.
The intro was good except for the part where the young lady slaps Him across the face. It's not really practical and I can't imagine someone slapping another person across the face because of a lousy act.
He could be happy don’t get me wrong. His friends would be with him, no matter how awkward he was. They kept close to him. After reading the story I can't imagine someone like Him having close friends. You don't mention any other friends except for She. I would change it to him having one close friend and that friend being She. His love life wasn’t as good. He was known as a failure by some and a misunderstood man. She is one of Him’s good friends. Him never ever saw it coming at all. Are you referencing to She leaving???
“Today again, rain with a slight chance of lightning. Now back to you, You.” Said Donnie Marcrobis. The room was dark only illuminated by the television. Him had a large apartment. His wealth came with one price. The death of his old try using another adjective because if his parents were old wouldn't they be expected to die.parents. His lonely apartment was shared with his bulldog, Ted. And boy did he help.
”Armed Robbery of Lee O’Malley’s bar today. 4 dead and 2 wounded. Real pain in the world today Don???” Said Kyle Rodriguez, the self proclaimed “reporter with pizazz”??? as the T.V. yelled. The phone rang. Him grabbed it and it was his brother asking for money. Why wouldn't the brother get any of the wealth when their parents died. You should explain that.
“You live 2 floors down cant you just come up!” Exclaimed Him.
”No I broke my foot, did you see the news?” He said sternly.
“Oh god that was you? Listen man I’m sorry I'll put $50 in your account”
“Yeah sure buddy, thanks"
“Bye”
Wouldn't he be more emotional if that was his brother on the news. To me the whole scene seems just thrown in there and has no significance to the story.
You see, as a mime, Him just couldn’t talk on the job. At home or with friends and stuff like that he could talk. He went to his computer and went on the site to put money in his account. He checked his mail and saw that he had one email.
“She?”
“i thnk tht we shud hang out more, i miss you “ Said the poorly written email.”
Him grabbed the phone and called She.
“Hey She”
“Hi Him”
“Do you wanna go grab a slice from Pizza Pizza or whatever”
“Yeah sure!”
“Ok cool I be down in a second”
Him hung up the phone and went down the stairs. He knocked on She’s door. She opened the door revealing her Lavender summer dress.
To add more detail you should say, she noticed him gazing at her dress and that make her say "Like it?"
“Like it?” She said
“Yeah looks great” Him said in an upbeat tone.
They walked down the sidewalk conversing about music and money and politics more detail. They really seemed to connect. They sat down at the restaurant.
"How's is your job?" She said.
"Um, its alright, "said Him
"Mime right?"
"Yea kinda lame, take out right?"
"No! That's amazing. You know i always wanted to go into show business," She said nicely
"You must have been dropped o-"Him whispered. For someone who's in love with her that doesn't seem like a right comment
"What was that?" She interrupted.
"Nothing, nothing."
By then it was time to go and they casually walked out of the restaurant. So they just sat down at the restaurant had a simple conversation and left. You didn't mention them eating and reading that conversation aloud I imagine it would only last for a couple minutes not for the full time you would be in a restaurant.
“You ready?” Said Him.
“Um I think, I’m going to call a cab” She said in a rather sad tone.
“Wait, don't you want to walk?”
“I just, I am not feeling good right now."
Him decided that he will walk home. Halfway home he started thinking about how much of a good time he had today and stopped in the middle of the road. Him came to a realization. He was in love with She.
Him woke up the next morning with a smile on his face. Today he had to work but he could live with his work today. Before he left he got word from She that she was moving. It broke his heart but he had to tell her. He went to his usual corner for his job. Today he didn’t do terrible. He actually was getting paid a lot. People clapped there hands for Him. Everything was going fine, but then he saw She. She stood by the street calling for a taxi. Him couldn’t yell, he was getting paid too much to yell. She left. Him broke through the crowd eventually and got in a cab. He ordered the taxi driverto drive to the airport. He got there in the nick of time. She was at the gate when he ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder. She unknowingly jerked away and turned around. Her face was in shock.
“She I have to tell you something” Him said panting.
“What?..What is it?!” She said.
“I have been thinking and I think I, I…I l love you.”
“Oh Him, you finally realized" Doesn't seem to flow
"I don't want you to leave please stay here, for me?
“G..Goodbye" She said silently choking up.
She kissed him on the neck and walked away and tears flooded his eyes.
“But..Why?...” Him whispered as She walked away.
Nice Ending!
The End
Architecture, Music, and Cooking were Him’s Previous jobs.
No, the source of his melancholy was simple: loneliness.
“i thnk tht we shud hang out more, i miss you “ Said the poorly written email.”
"How'sisyour job?" She said.
"No!, that's amazing. You know I always wanted to go into show business comma," She said nicely period.
"Wait a second comma, what is that?" Him curiously asked.
“I have been thinking and I think I. I…I l.. love you.”
