During: The night before his confrontation with
Lumi
I walk in for my 7PM shift and nothing’s done. Dishes are piled up, floors are filthy, and none of the prep is touched. I was already having a bad day so this really pissed me off. Nile's already there, just standing around like it's not his job. I end up doing it because he half-asses everything. Drives me nuts. He never puts the bottles back after making drinks, and when I call it out, he calls me “anal” for giving a damn. Says, “I don’t get paid enough to clean,” while he racks in three times my tips just for existing. Sirens, man.
Then this one Demon comes in. Snaps his fingers at me during a rush. “What’s good here?” He says. I give him the look; the one that says try that again and see what happens. He doesn’t take the hint. They never do.
​
“Long Island is popular here,” I say.
​
“Ok well I don’t like that,” he says.
​
“Ok well go fuck yourself” is what I wanted to say.

I just smile. I- oh whatever. These idiots shouldn’t even take up my head space. I have the weekend to look ahead to. I’ll take a hike, order some food, smoke some weed. It’s fine.
We got this cute little zombie assistant recently and Brax is obsessed with bullying him. He is so miserable and loves the power trip it’s so funny and pathetic. I meean, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I like it too. Oliver is just so agreeable. He’s almost as fun as Trey. No actually scratch that. Trey is definitely the most fun. He takes everything so seriously it’s so freaking funny. Like he gets so angry over my jokes as if I kicked his dog. I mean-I’d definitely do that if given the chance(I’m kidding I love dogs), but he just gets sooo butthurt like calm the hell down. I love him though. It’s all love.

In my relationship with Oliver so far he has never gotten mad at me or raised his voice at me. I know that is a good thing, but is that really a good thing? Aren’t healthy couples supposed to have arguments? Sometimes I think he will snap one day and all the resentment he’s had for me will come out all at once, and I’m terrified. What if he hits me? What if he thinks about hitting me? Sometimes I tell him to do something and I see his smile fade, so I immediately apologize. Rowan said I should just break up with him if I feel this way, but sometimes I feel this way about her too.

It’s crazy like a couple decades ago you couldn’t look anybody up. Now I can like, just find out about anybody. I know so much about random stranger’s lives and it’s so interesting to just observe! I looked up my boyfriend’s rude co-worker Brax the other day and found a bunch of photos of him on his Instagram. It was private but I requested to follow from a spam account and he actually accepted!
I used to watch documentaries on people and it would be a re-enactment of their life but now documentaries are literally just live footages of people. Ordinary people. It’s kind of scary honestly.. What if I die in the future and my whole life gets played out on the screen for strangers to watch? I was recorded a lot when I was younger because I sang for a lot of concerts and competitions. I wonder if that will be a part of it.

I don’t work weekend shifts. Non-negotiable. I spend that time hiking or camping, especially on long weekends. I used to be glued to my phone, but it seriously messed with my head. Online content is extreme and pushes people into toxic thinking. It fills you with hate over things that don’t actually matter once you disconnect. Dating apps were the worst; terrible for a man’s brain. What happened to actually connecting with people? I see this shit at the club too it’s depressing. Guys go there only to be on their phones half the time. Social media has ruined this generation of men.

You ever go to a party sober while everyone else is drunk and realize how everyone there actually sucks? Well imagine that experience on steroids. Welcome to bartending at the biggest nightclub in the city.
It’s like working at the cafe except it’s dirty, dark, loud, over priced, and filled with the most desperate degenerates alive.
You’d think the women here would know what it’s like to pretend to like a man for drinks, yet they fall for Nile’s flirting every. Single. Time. God Sirens have it so easy. Being the only Zombie bartender, he, or practically any of the Sirens who work with me just roll in tip money since I can never compete with them. It’s gotten to the point where they’re fighting each other to get shifts with me; it’s fucking pathetic.
What’s even more pathetic though, are the monsters who actually pay to get in the club. Second to the ones who buy bottles of course. If you don’t know how a club makes money: They pay promoters to get a bunch of Siren women to party here for free, which attracts all the other monsters to pay and buy bottles to impress these Sirens who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about them. And these Sirens think they are so valuable and powerful since everyone wants them so badly, as if they don’t get enough attention outside the club.
That’s why I like Lumi. She’s humble. If she were smarter she’d be working at the club but there’s no way she could handle it. She can’t even handle making a cappuccino without my help half the time. I love the look on her face, concentrating so hard on just steaming the milk like her life depends on it. She listens to me. Doesn’t act like she’s better than me. More Sirens should be like her. I just wish she’d smile more

We have lost the tradition of marriage in this modern age. A marriage is about providing VALUE to one and other, not baggage. You’d think demon men would understand this the most yet they are the most selfish, immature, and short-term minded monster by FAR. They get defensive when I want them to sign a contract to be useful and then expect me to sign THEIR contracts.
I always have a contract when entering a relationship, as all demon women should. And non-demon women should always get a demon woman to make a contract for them. Lumi doesn’t understand this. When I tried making a contract for her and Oliver she said “he doesn’t need a contract.” She is so naive it hurts.
I’ve had boyfriends. But I break up with them when I realize they can never be husbands. It doesn’t take me long to figure that out, but I have foolishly accepted entertaining a demon man for two years while he didn’t even see me as his girlfriend. I will never be a fool again. Men that you entertain are either a one time fling or a forever partner; nothing in between.
