The Janitor: Part 1

His name was Gary, 25 years old. A normal person. A legal citizen. A janitor at a local city high rise business. Why he was there and why he was cleaning were because of personal business. Up in the 53rd floor, Gary’s job was to clean and clear all the garbage and the filth that was within his area, all three floors of it, inclusive of storage rooms, lounges and toilets. His work hours varied so he manages to catch glimpses of the hardworking crew that was responsible for the whole enterprise. One would think that his job would be easy and boring but it certainly was not. Everyday, the staff would do something to make his life a little harder. Breaking simple inexpensive things like garbage bins, chucking garbage right in front of him, turning off the lights when they knew he was there. A pure innocent in all of these incidents, just to show how much of a ‘better person’ everyone else was because they were loaded with money, qualifications and contacts that Gary would never dream to concieve. Displays of power for the sake of pride and separation of the classes. It pissed the normally placid man off.

There was one employee whom he hated the most. Kelly April. One of the managers of a big part of the company. She oversaw things on the third floor of the office, with a corner room all to herself, complete with a shiny metal name plaque that Gary has to shine every day. She had the tendancy to make insulting comments and was the loudest to talk behind his back, calling him names and comparing him with various strange creatures. When at work, she was a calm, collected person. When at play, she lets loose and talked and talked and talked and talked…. She even talked about him in an elevator, with him right next to her, as if knowing he was right there listening. Incredibly annoying and incredibly infuriating, but with his place as one of the lesser paid employees, he cannot say or do anything, as he was not a ‘professional’. He could not quit either, because this job had the highest pay in his limited options.

What was there to do but to endure like all the other janitors would?

Work life was miserable until a friend of his found a small European charm by chance and gave it to him as a birthday gift. One night after sleeping, he suddenly felt a little cold but then fuzzy afterward, as if waking up to a lovely Christmas day. Strange encounter with a pedestrian gave him ideas, of which he accidentally made her drop her magazine and bend over to pick it up slowly with a passing thought, giving him a very good view of a pair of silk red panties, at least twice in the middle of the street. He suddenly realized that he was able to plant mental suggestions into people’s minds, effectively mind controlling them.

Some thinking and revelation later, he decided on how to best use this power to his advantage. At the office where he worked…. where he will get his revenge on everyone who had picked on him!

Picking his first target would be easy. Kelly April worked long nights sometimes and he knew her schedule for the month.
