Secrets



For my story Secrets

The first day at my government job so I was happy when my supervisor said he wanted to show me something not too many employees knew about.

“I shouldn’t let you into these secret government files,” Alfred stated.
“That’d be no fun; I’d love to know everything they’ve been hiding.”
“You can’t see everything but maybe I could show you this one file about our parents.”
“Our parents…huh?”
“You know that vaccine, the one that left them with a huge scar?”
I nodded. I read the file expecting maybe that the manufacturer goofed making the needle too big.
“Pretty wild huh.”
“It says that our parents were imprinted with a DNA scanner tracker that the government can track any citizen that got this. Holy cow everyone should know about this.”
“You can’t tell anyone.”
“But I have to this is big,” I protested.
Just then the big boss came in the room and sounded angry, “Alfred, vaccination are important, if people believe your scam then they won’t vaccinate.” Then turning to me he said, “I have the scar, see Randy?”
“Yes,” I answered.
“Do you think I’d still have one if the government could track me with it?”
“No.”
“Alfred you are officially on leave. Randy can handle your job until you come back next week.”

Alfred didn’t come back. I’m still on the job and although the vaccination story wasn’t true I could tell you a few stories that could raise your hair; but I won’t I love my job.
