"That would be $5.99..."
"Have a good day..."
He waved at the customer as they left, and slumped down onto the counter.
Aki, a 17 year old male, who had black, messy hair and slightly pale skin, was a gas station worker.
Amazing, wasn't it!
He hated it.
These days were boring as hell, and there was no way out since he dropped out of middle school thinking he could make a career for himself on livestreaming.
You can guess how that turned out.
So after three hours of non stop cashiering, he could finally go home!
"Haah... I'm done with this shit... it's tiring..."
He unlocked his car, got in, and drove into the large city of New york, where the night is always young, for no apparent reason...
"What the fuck is that...?"
Many cars and people were gathered around a large, red and black... portal?
He stopped his car and got out, joining the crowd, trying to see what this was about.
He could hear many confused murmurs, wondering what was going on, until a professional looking person stepped infront of the crowd and attempted to explain what was going on.
"Citizens of new york, we are attempting to handle this situation. This is not a portal to another dimension, we assure you, just a mixup of gamma rays and multiple other things an avarage human wouldn't understand. What I'm trying to say, is that we are not in danger of any kind, and you all will continue to thrive, this may take a few days, if not weeks, to resolve this... thing."
More people started to murmur, when someone shouted:
"What if it really is a portal!?"
Others started agreeing, and the professional figure spoke again.
"We assure you it is not. If you have any complaints, I'm sure you could take that up with the government."
At that moment, a large, wrinkled and deformed hand emerged from the portal...
And ripped the man to pieces, exploding him with blood.
