A Ruler

“Beep! Beep!”

As Zi arose from her bed, she slammed her alarm clock to shut off. Though she actually broke it clean in half. These were some inconveniences coming with being a demon. There are just these small things that happen. For example, when a demon is even a little mad, they get an extra reflex. It makes their accuracy more precise, and their strength boost. Anyways, Zi slowly

started to walk into the kitchen, which is barely a kitchen even at this point because it’s so small. She was a person who would want to eat before anything else. She’s hungry all of the time. When she wanted to start a business, a food place is the first thing that came to mind. She started to begin making her breakfast. “Shoot! I’m gonna have to stop by the grocery store!” Her fridge was almost bare, with only a few items left. She was able to make a small breakfast sandwich, and she scarfed it down. She then sauntered back into her small room to choose an outfit. She usually wore a basic graphic tee with some black cargo pants. She usually liked to dress in all black, probably because she was raised to do so. She then bulted down the stairs of her apartment building and ran across the street. One good thing about being able to run your own business, is being able to choose where it is placed. She was able to get it on a street just across of her apartment building. She always brags to herself about that. She turned left and there it was, with the logo that’s called, “Lucifer’s Coffee”. She took the shiny golden key from her pocket and unlocked the glass door. The inside was very well decorated with soft maroon colored chairs, and wooden tables. It was now a cute trendy cafe that humans have been so interested in. There was one human that always stood out to her. He always came in first thing in the morning. He had short pure black hair, with black eyes. She had soon learned, (through customers gossip),that he also ran his own business. Though, his was way more successful. He ran a company which created popular video games. Thier latest RPG game release was a total hit, with millions upon millions of players. Many people said that when they played it, they could forget about everything in their past and submerge themselves into the game. Though the games made people so happy, it was said that the boy that ran the company had such a cold piercing gaze that people would freeze. That’s probably why he always came in the morning. Though when she would take his order, his eyes seemed soft on me, and always smiled, though he seemed troubled. Zi had just locked up the shop and was ready to head out. She then remembered that she needed to go get groceries. She headed down to her local grocer, and did a little shopping. Since the shop’s popularity blew up, she now has a little spare change. As she was about to go check out she saw a paper ad. It was for the game people were talking about. Since people said it could get thier mind off things, why not try it out?
