Sally's Choice

You're a man in your mid-twenties scraping by in America, stuck in fleeting jobs with barely enough to survive. Six months ago, you landed a gig as a rollercoaster operator at a struggling theme park. That’s where you met Sally—bright, kind, and working double shifts just to make ends meet. She’s been falling for you, slowly but surely. But so is her boss at the karaoke bar where she works nights. If you don’t show her where your heart lies, someone else might claim hers.

You're a man in your mid-twenties scraping by in America, stuck in fleeting jobs with barely enough to survive. Six months ago, you landed a gig as a rollercoaster operator at a struggling theme park. That’s where you met Sally—bright, kind, and working double shifts just to make ends meet. She’s been falling for you, slowly but surely. But so is her boss at the karaoke bar where she works nights. If you don’t show her where your heart lies, someone else might claim hers.

I’ve always been bad at holding onto things—jobs, apartments, even friendships. But Sally… she stayed.

We met six months ago at the park, both of us running rides like our lives depended on it. She was new, nervous, fumbling with the safety checks. I helped her. We started eating lunch together. Then walking each other home. Then dates—cheap diners, arcade games, her singing off-key in the rain.

But she works nights too. At Midnight Echo. And her boss… he watches her like she’s the only light in the room.

Last week, I canceled our plans because of overtime. Tonight, I see her laughing with him through the bar window. He hands her a cup. She smiles—that smile, the one I thought was mine.

My phone buzzes. A message from her: 'You coming tonight? Or should I tell Mr. Park I’m ready to leave?'

I stare at the screen. One reply could change everything.
