Skyrim Marriage Counselor
For your entertainment, here is a micro fiction (300 word max) that I wrote for class last semester.​
Cashiering
First it was a fat man. He gasped as he reached the checkout lane, and each item he placed on the conveyor belt appeared to require Herculean effort to lift. The cashier completed the exchange with a smile and sent the gargantua on his merry way.

Next was a penitent woman. Without provocation, she confessed all of her shopping sins. The cashier faked a laugh, absolved her of her crimes, and showed her where to sign.

The following customer decided he didn’t want his milk anymore and gave it to the cashier. The cashier held back a sigh, knowing that the 2% fat delight had to be thrown away.

More people came in great abundance. The lone cashier tried to get help, but alas, the store hired only the bare minimum necessary to run the establishment. Forcing a bright smile into existence, the cashier continued the mercantile struggle.

One apologetic man paid in loose change. An old lady wrote a check as slow as humanly possible. A child made a large mess and threw a magnificent fit when he couldn’t get a toy.

The last customer was an attractive woman with a frown firmly set in her face. Upon learning that her desired blouse was costlier than she had thought, she unleashed the wrath of a thousand demons upon the cashier before leaving the item behind in a huff.

The cashier’s eye twitched and the smile threatened to give way.

The next customer was a young man the cashier’s age. He proudly displayed the condoms he wanted with a smile and a tasteless boast. He looked to the cashier for acknowledgment of his superiority and wit.

The cashier suggested the man attempt to copulate with himself. One fist fight later, the cashier’s employment was terminated.
