Summary
You had spark. A fire, roaring and crackling and untameable. Passion. A love for all things science and nerdy, freakishly good at coding and technology from even a young age.
Oh, how sweet and naïve you were.
That spark was crushed and stomped into a capitalist-shaped curb until what was left was a perfect little cog to fit into a machine. You work at a grocery store, the customer service industry a cruelty that destroyed your hope for humanity. Years of misuse, abuse from customers and staff alike colding your once warm, beating heart. You took the brunt of whatever crap corporate wanted dealt with, cleaned up whatever mess your incompetent co-workers left behind; be it calling out "sick" last minute to doing stock take incorrectly. It all fell onto you, the managers far to busy to help their supervisor.
You were crushed, utterly and completely, it was only a matter of time until you gave out.
