What they didn’t tell you when they made you janitor of the tallest building in town

~ Sonya

100 words about a janitorShe sits down. If she decides to, she can slide over and …

‘You’re too close to the edge there.’

The guy’s voice makes her jump. If she’d sat closer to it…

‘You don’t want to fall off. Unless you do.’

She flinches.

‘Yeah, know how I can tell?’

She shakes her head.

‘You’re here. Only two types of people come up here. Those who think they want to die, and me. I’m the bloody janitor. Yet all I do is talk people down. If they paid me like a shrink, I wouldn’t complain. Now, will you come with me already?’

  5. Interesting take. Glad he is there to stop people from jumping. Indeed, he should be paid better!
