A tired warehouse worker wakes to his phone alarm on a dark, stormy morning. Rain pounds the window as he struggles to get out of bed. His coworker texts that the sick time policy just changed, then asks if he is coming in. The worker replies, "Nah, you are good without me," and gets a simple "Bruh" back. In his mind, the warehouse is falling apart. Conveyor belts jam, boxes crash to the floor, shelves collapse, and water drips from the ceiling. It is chaos. Then he blinks and it is gone. The warehouse is fine, coworkers are working, and nothing is wrong. The destruction was only a daydream to break up the monotony of the day. A quick, relatable story about burnout, quiet acts of rebellion, and the humor in imagining the place collapsing without you.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
