about

"Brian was 47 years old with 3 kids, a wife, a blonde wig he wore, but never maintained and a few surfboards in the back of his brown Volvo. He worked as a busboy at a restaurant down the street from his childhood home, the home that his father still allowed Brian and his family to live in. Brian knew everything there was to know about the restaurant. He knew how many times the carpet had been changed and how many people had been caught making love out on the patio and how many waiters with different names, but similar traits had come and gone. He was the first introduction and the last goodbye to thousands of other employees throughout the years, he made this a point. Brian was a cordial fellow and he figured if he had nothing else in this world, he might as well have a good attitude and a firm hand shake, and he did, Brian had a formal, yet humanly handshake and it was rare to see him with anything other than a smile on his face. Brian worked alone on most nights, but during his Saturday shift he had to work with the three other bussers, Lupe, Carlos and the little one they called Muerte. Brian felt a connection to these men because they shared the same profession, but beyond that he didn't care for them much. He always felt as if he was the butt of their jokes, which he was, but he wished they wouldn't make it so obvious. Brian often laughed at them too, but only to himself. He found it funny that Lupe had 12 kids and was raising all of them to be soccer players. Brian wasn't trying to be racist when he told the general manager about Lupe's soccer team, but he got written up for it anyways. He also found it funny that Carlos was the father of the dishwasher, the brother of a chef and a cousin to the bar back. Brian wasn't trying to be racist when he said, "aren't all you guys related?” but the staff complained about it anyways. He also found the name Muerte to be funny. They called him Muerte because he liked to party hard after work and when he'd show up the next day his eyes would be sunken in and black. He really did look like the walking dead to Brian and so he'd call him Muerte with a grin. It was an undisputable fact that Muerte looked dead, so there wasn't much for Brian to be written up for on this matter." ...
