Continuing the Assignment

"Write a scene in which a woman is fired after only a week on the job.  Just a week earlier, the same person who is now firing her was very persuasive in convincing her to take the job"

"I am WHAT?" Brooklyn exclaimed!  "Only a week ago, you convinced me to come to work for you, even when I was hesitant.  Now, all of a sudden, you are letting me go?"

As Brooklyn walked away from the building on 72nd Street and Broadway, a deep sadness filled her.  Even after wondering about taking this job in the first place, she had felt herself falling into a pleasant routine.  She had looked forward to getting up and going to work.  She had enjoyed the walk home each day in the coolness of the fall afternoons.

Today, on her walk home, she kept sighing and wondering why she was fired.

She went over and over everything that had transpired in the past week and all she could come up with were positive experiences.  

As she walked into her tiny apartment, stepped out of her shoes, and laid the keys to her apartment on the table, she merely glanced at the sign of the fish on her key ring.
