my lip to keep from laughing. 

There was another guy who looked like my boss standing like a rabbit
caught in headlights to my left.  I shot him in the face.  His basket 
of groceries fell to the ground and a little girl who was probably his 
daughter tripped over it.  “Be careful,” I said to her.  “You might 
hurt yourself”. 

I looked around and to my disgust saw that my boss was now everywhere. 
“You're late Stephen, not good enough Stephen, You're fired Stephen”.  
I screamed and started shooting at everyone but there was too many of 
him.  I ran out of bullets and fell to my knees in tears.  I should 
have brought more. 

“That's all I can remember doctor,” I said from my new bed.  “Can you
loosen these straps? Please, they're really tight.  “I'm afraid I can't 
do that Stephen but you're making progress, keep it up”.  “I hope so,” 
I said to myself more than him.  “Just one more thing Doctor” I said 
before he left.  “Yes what is it Stephen?” he asked.  “You really look 
like my old boss, no kidding”.  He left my room in a hurry trying to 
hide the look of fear from his face.  I started laughing and I couldn't 
stop. 

THE END
