Erin sat down on the park bench and pulled a sandwich out of her backpack. After a long day of work, she felt as if she deserved a reward. This sandwich was made by her friend Jayden. Erin had to skip lunch because of an office emergency about one of the printers catching on fire and someone getting burned, again. Erin didn’t care, she was too hungry. Luckily Jayden, who prepared for this, made two sandwiches just in case there was an emergency and gave one to Erin. The sandwich itself looked incredible with an excessive amount of melted cheese dripping from the sides, chicken, and pork covered over lettuce, and a pickle sticking out from both ends. When she took her first bite it was like she was touched by God. The blessing of flavor it gave her almost made her want to go back to church, but then she remembered she wasn’t allowed inside after getting drunk off of “Jesus Blood”.
As Erin continued eating she heard a couple fighting on the bench next to her. Instead of being bothered she took it as a form of entertainment. She remembered when Jayden would fight with his boyfriend on the phone at work. His boyfriend got a promotion and the opportunity to move to Florida, but Jayden refused to go. He wanted to stay because moving meant he had to give up his job and he enjoyed his work, somehow.
Erin, who could hear everything and didn’t want to do work, convinced Jayden to break up with him. She didn’t really want to help Jayden, she just saw an opportunity to get rid of his boyfriend. Erin never liked him because all he did was brag about his work, she was tired of hearing about how he’s saving the planet. Also, Florida sucks.
As she listened to the couple in the park argue, she overheard that the man had another apartment he didn’t tell anyone about which caused the woman to aggressively confront him about it. Erin didn’t understand why the man wasn’t creating a reason for the apartment even if he was lying, and why the woman never asked to see the apartment to see how he would react. To Erin, the solution was simple. Unfortunately, she never helped them because to her that would ruin the show, plus her mouth was full. Erin was a little disappointed that they made up, but she wasn’t going to ruin a nice moment, maybe.
She continued to eat her sandwich when a loud crash echoed through the park. A car had crashed and flipped on its side hitting three pedestrians. However, Erin was too focused on the piece of salami that fell out of her mouth. Glued to her seat, she finally turned around and saw the car burst into flames as the injured victims screamed for help. Amused by the situation, she watched as people rushed in to help. Erin then saw one person still in the car. It was a little girl, trapped inside, and nobody noticed her banging on the window. Erin then got up and walked out of the park. She had finished her sandwich.
