You Don't Know Me (Freewrite Story)

Prompt: Discord provided by @mariannewest

5 Minute Freewrite Task

There is far too much discord for one evening. A man arguing with bus driver that he did not receive his change.

Another person in the restaurant claiming that the order she received was wrong. However, her claims were met with anger from the cashier. Fortunately, there is a manager around to calm the situation.

Maybe it is the heat.

Whatever it is, “the customer is always right” philosophy doesn't seem to apply today.

Compare this to Mr X, who has one of most notorious criminal gangs after him. He lives in a world of peace. He is on the witness protection program. He has a beautiful house in the middle of nowhere.

The longer he stays, the more sense of peace he gains. He still thinks about why he is here, but it is becoming more and more of a distant memory.

He has settled into this peaceful lifestyle. This witness protection program is so good, even I, @mr-neil, the writer of this story, does not know his real name.

Today, Mr X will take a gentle stroll to the town. He will walk through the green hills. Such beautiful scenery. Such a wonderful world.

He will meet very friendly people, whilst picking up some fresh food supplies. Wonderful.

This is the life, I'm not sure if Mr X would like it any other way.

…….and that is what worries him sometimes.

Thank you for reading. If you would like to read the original story for Mr X, here is the link. I'm particularly fond of this story, as i wrote it on paper first. The original notes are supplied.
