  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When I agreed to work at
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Popeye's Fried Chicken, I was aware of what I was
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: getting into. I know the place doesn't have the best reputation,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: but I needed a job. Besides, no job is perfect.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: But if I had known that what I was going
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to experience at that place, I would have kept looking
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for a job. Let me give you a little context first.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It all started when overnight a man started coming in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: every night before the place closed. His appearance was horrendous.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: He looked like a homeless man. The man always did
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the same thing. He would arrive, order a chicken sandwich,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and go to the bathroom to eat it. Although he
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: was polite and seemed totally harmless, we were all afraid
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to say anything to him. He was constantly scratching himself,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: talking at the table with people who weren't there. His
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: huge eye was shaking almost as much as his body.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: He didn't seem like a bad person, but we were
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: all afraid that if we said anything to him, the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: man would explode in anger and attack us. The day
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it all happened, the usual routine happened. The homeless man
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: had ordered his chicken sandwich and was waiting for it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to be delivered. We all avoided going to the bathroom
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: when this happened, but that day I couldn't help it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I was sick to my stomach and I couldn't wait
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: another second for that man to go into the bathroom,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: eat his food, and come out. I locked myself in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the farthest bathroom cubicle. I tried to hurry as fast
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: as I could, but before I could get up, the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: bathroom door opened and the man came in. He began
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to inspect the bathroom, choosing where to go in to eat.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: He tried to enter my door, but noticed that it
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was closed. After that, there was an awkward silence. What
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was he doing, sir?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: The stalls occupied?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, young man. I wanted to see why
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a cubicle what's unavailable?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Without any answer from me, the man went to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: first cubicle where he always used to go from mine.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I could hear him savagely eating the chicken sandwich. The
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: noises made me very nervous. He was devouring it without contemplation,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and he didn't drink anything even for a second after eating.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I took advantage of the situation to pull up my
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: pants and leave the cubicle quickly. But as soon as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the man heard my door open, he stopped eating. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: walked slowly to leave. I didn't want to make him
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: leave his cubicle. I didn't want to meet him face
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to face. I couldn't shake this strange feeling that something
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was wrong, that this man was dangerous and might possibly
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do something to me. When I reached the door, it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: opened violently and the homeless man came out. The man
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: was in his underwear. He had taken off all his
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: clothes when he entered the stall. He had a piece
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of trash, which he threw out as soon as he
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: opened the door. As soon as he came out, he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: made his intentions clear. He looked me straight in the eye.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: We both stared at each other uncomfortably, without saying anything,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: watching each other. He wasn't looking at me in a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: threatening way. He didn't seem to want to hurt me,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but something in his eyes was wrong. Look was desperate, hurt,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and even sad. But that didn't make him any less dangerous.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: After all, he has two heads above me. Sure, I'm sorry,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: don't borrow you, but I.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Think I need your help.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What are you doing without clothes? You know you can't eat.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And here right?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really sorry. I need you the only way
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I can take off my clothes. And why why do
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you want to take off your clothes? Well, you're the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: only way I can crack my shelf wall.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: All these damn cockrow out of my body. But there's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: nothing on your skin?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Are you one too?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Don't you see all these cockroaches over my body?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: If I treak him off, bigger's coming back.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Biggers keep going on.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: They're not you can They're gonna eat me a lot.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's okay, sir, I apologize. I can see them better
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: now I'm without my glasses. I'll go get help. Okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'll come soon with someone who will get all the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: cockroaches off.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, sir.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What are you doing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: For help?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I was just going to look for Nora. Strack me
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a lot, sir.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Please let go help someone help me, please scrap me?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Why the cockroll won't go away?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The situation was interrupted when the two security guards entered
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the restroom along with some other guys, pushing the two
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of us out at the door. When we fell, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: got up as quickly as I could, but the man
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: was still on the floor, rolling around as if he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was on fire. The police soon arrived and took the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: man away. I didn't report him appress any charges against him,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: as he really didn't have any bad intentions towards me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Shortly afterward, I found out that the man was locked
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: up in a psychiatric hospital as he had schizophrenia. I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was told that, just as he said, the man thought
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: his body was full of hungry cockroaches that were brutally
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: biting him all the time. After that, we never saw
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: him again. But when I see a cockroach, I think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of him, how it would feel to be in his skin,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and how in his desperation he could have done something
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to me if I wasn't saved. This story was inspired
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: by a serial killer named Randall Saito, who was a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: psychiatric patient at State Hospital. In July of nineteen seventy nine,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he killed a twenty nine year old random woman named
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Sandra Yamashiro at a La Mona center. Her body, stabbed
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and shot was found in her car. Two years later.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Randall was acquitted by reason of insanity. Sayto escaped State
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Hospital in twenty seventeen by taking a cab using a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: fake ID, and later was arrested in California. It was
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a day I will never forget. I returned from school
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: late in the evening, and after watching movies for a while,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I got a little peckish. Luckily, a new Popeye's Chicken
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: fast food restaurant just opened down the street, so I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: decided to go order some food. It was dark by
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the time I arrived, and as soon as I stepped in,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I noticed there weren't any customers at the restaurant. Strangely enough,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: there weren't any workers around either, just a weird looking
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: guy standing behind the counter. Now I'm not the type
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to fixate on looks, but I immediately knew something was
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: off about this guy. His body was extremely skinny, like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he was sick or severely malnourished, big bulging eyes, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a scruffy beard. Even more unsettling was that he had
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: scabs and wounds all over his body. Some were bandaged
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: while others were left to fester. I couldn't fathom how
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in the world they would let someone like that take
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: food orders. Um, excuse me, can I get some service?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Please?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: For crying out loud, would you say something? I yelled
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: at the top of my voice. His tired, bloodshot eye
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: swiveled toward me. He stared at me with a face
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: full of rage, as though I had disturbed something important
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: he was doing. If lukes could kill, I would have
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: already been dead by then. Welcome Nipoppye's famous fried chicken.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: May I take your order? He moaned lifelessly. I couldn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: help but noticing how jagged and yellowish his teeth were.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I ordered four three icy chicken wings with lots of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: ketchup and a diet coke. He requested for my name.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I was hesitant, but since it was part of the order,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I gave it to him. Jennifer, I said, coming right up, Jennifer,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I just know you're gonna love it. He smiled ghoulishly,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and then retreated into the kitchen. I knew something was wrong.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I could feel it in my gut. More so, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: could also smell something putrid coming from the closet in
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the kitchen. The stench was so strong it made me nauseous.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I had to know what was going on back there,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: so I quietly snuck into the kitchen and eavesdropped on him.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I noticed him preparing the chicken I ordered, but nothing
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: could have prepared me for what happened next. He vomited
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: something disgusting into the ketchup bottle, shook it, and then
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: spread it all over the chicken he was about to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: serve me. I was so sickened I almost threw up
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. Suddenly his head snapped towards me. You're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be in here. I'm almost done with
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: your order, he hissed. Cold sweat ran down the back
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of my neck.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Um.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Actually, I changed my mind. I don't want the order anymore.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You're gonna eat your chicken, and you're going to enjoy it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: After all, everyone loves the chicken from Popeyes.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Then he grabbed a kitchen knife off the counter, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I immediately made a run for it. He sprinted after
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: me with a knife in his left hand and a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: box of chicken in his right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Come back here and eat your chicken.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He yelled at the top of his voice. I sprang
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: through the restaurant door and into the parking lot. Despite
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: being so gangly, he was incredibly fast. In fact, he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was matching me stride for stride. His long, scrawny arms
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: were only a few inches away from my head. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as we ran into the road, a truck spent out
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of nowhere and ram through him before he could reach me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: With adrenaline pumping hard through my veins, I kept running.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't even bother to look back. After a few minutes,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I arrived at my house. I bolted through the door
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and locked it behind me. My mom had gone away
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on a business trip that day. I tried calling her,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but the line wasn't going through. Dear God, what am
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I gonna do?
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: What if he's still alive?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: What if he follows me home?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I locked all the doors and windows. Then I took
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a baseball bat and waited at the front door. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: waited till midnight, but he never showed up. After a while,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I lay down on the floor close to the door,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and I slept off. Then suddenly, around two a m.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: In the morning, I was awakened by the sound of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: dogs barking in the streets. Then the handle of my
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: front door began to shake violently. The door jerked and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: trembled so much I thought it was going to break
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: down it any minute. It was him. It could only
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: be him.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Jennifer, your order is ready open the door Jennifer Jennifer.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: He hissed as he pounded on my door. Immediately, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: took the phone and called the police.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Come quickly.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: There's a crazy guy at my house and he's got
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a knife.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, one thirteen Woodrow Street, Please hurry.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: While the call was going on, he started hacking at
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: my door with the kitchen knife. My heart raised as
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I saw the knife slide in and out to the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: frail wooden door. Leave me alone, I cried, but that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: didn't stop him. Suddenly I heard the sounds of police
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: sirens from a distance, and the door stopped moving. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: heaved a sigh of relief. Was finally over. When I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: opened the door, the man was no longer there. All
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that was left was a box of Popeye's chicken with
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: my name written on it. When the police arrived, we
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: drove over to the restaurant. The man wasn't there anymore. However,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: when they checked the closet in the back, they found
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the dead body of one of the workers in the closet.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He had multiple steads wounds on his chest. The management
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: told the police that the man they were looking for
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: was fired after he was caught adding bodily fluid to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: people's orders. Afterward, he was admitted into a mental asylum.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Apparently he broke out and came straight back to work.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad I had the good sense to check
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: on him after placing the order. Needless to say, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: haven't gone to my Popeye's chicken restaurant ever since.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Last winter. I started working part time at a Popeyes
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: near the Highway. Things weren't too bad until they moved
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: me to the night shift about a month into my
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: time at the restaurant. The restaurant was busy during the
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: day but got downright freaky at night. I didn't enjoy
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: going to work much on winter nights, but I managed
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: to push through it because the pay kept going up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Then one night in January, I made a terrible mistake.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I offered to close the Popeyes on my own after
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: the night shift. Lizzie was supposed to help me. She's
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: a blonde, sweet girl who started around the same time
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: I did, but she was feeling ill, so I offered
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: to handle closing solo. Once the last customers were gone,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I began my closing process. I locked the doors, I
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: turned off the main lights, then pulled out a bluetooth
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: speaker placed it on the table in the dining room
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: and started to mop up. While jamming to some classic rock.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: I wiped down all of the surfaces. I worked fast.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: We had an official policy to only ever close with
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: two or more staff on site. The official reason was
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: for safety and accountability. But as the minutes ticked by
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: that night, I began to feel like someone was moving
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: around the restaurant, just out of my sight. I was
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: about to start cleaning the bathrooms when I heard a
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: commotion from the kitchen. Ohizzy, I called out, holding up
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: my mop for self defense. I guess. There was a
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: scraping sound, followed by silence. I hopped over the counter,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: still holding onto the mop like it was a club.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Something had knocked over a packet of flower lying on
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: the kitchen counter. White flower spilled all over the floor.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Boo.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I yelped, turning back and saw a man standing inside
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: the restaurant. I just about jumped out of my skin.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: The man looked like a creepier version of Popeye. Dirt
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: clung heavily to his clothes, and the pipe he was
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: smoking on spread a foul smell all over the restaurant.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'm imagining this.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: I said out loud, clutching the mop so hard. The
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: man took a step forward and stopped.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Hey, are you here alone?
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: I froze Lizzie, I asked again, forgetting she had gone
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: home a long time ago.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: No, sorry, not Lizzie.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Who who are you?
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I asked. He took another step forward and smiled.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: How was many things?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Now? Did you say you were alone? Or did I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: imagine that?
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: My mouth was dry? I was having a hard time
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: speaking now. He was standing in the middle of the restaurant,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: partially hunched over. His chin made his face look absurd,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: and he only had one eye open. But it was
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: enough to give me a death stare.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Do you know I only eat spinach?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: What? What?
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: I took two steps back. He remained where he stood.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why they put this on me. I'm
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: a vegan. I don't even like chicken. You meat eaters
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: are cruel. It feels fun to silence a helpless bird, right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Look, we're closed for the day.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: If you have any issues, come back tomorrow when the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: manager's here.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't think the manager will agree so easily.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I need to leave him a message.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: His words made absolutely no sense. But the more I
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: heard him, the more I felt my skin crawl. What message, dude,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, you better leave her all.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You got a face I would like to touch.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Suddenly he started running towards me at full speed. I
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: screamed and started running too.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Maybe if I do what your manager does to those
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: poor chickens, the world would realize. Maybe I should just
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: give them a taste of their own medicine.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Go away, hell.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I got inside the restroom and locked the door before
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: he could get in. His chilling threats continued from the
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: other side of the door.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Open up, open up, it's pop by the sailor man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: My body was drenched in a cold sweat. I was
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: panting in fear. What should I do? How do I
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: get out of this's alive? My phone wasn't with me,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: and this place was in the middle of the highway,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: very limited chances that someone would hear my screams.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I'm strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Jump popa the sailor man of.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: His voice started to change, and soon he was kicking
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: the door hard.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Don't try my patience, lady. The more you make me wait,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the more damage I'll do you open the dawn door.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Please just go away, hand me alone. Oh he didn't.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Soon the door started to give in. His kicks were
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: so strong. I knew I wouldn't be safe for long,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: and it was time to get out and run. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: climbed up the bathroom vent and with great difficulty, squeezed
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: myself through it. I was already halfway from getting out
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: through that small space when I heard the door break.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So the little birdie tries to run.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: I begin to move my body quickly. I was almost
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: out when he grabbed my feet. His ironclad grasp gave
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: me bruises, but thank god I wore my heels that day.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: I poked his big eye with my other stiletto.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Ah aye my eye.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: And he let go of me. As soon as I
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: made it onto the ground, I took my shoes off
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: and started running towards my scooter parked in the driveway. Luckily,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I always kept my keys in my jean pocket. It
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: took me about five to seven seconds to start the engine,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: but it felt like hours in panic. When I was
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: driving away at full speed, I saw the man coming
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: out of the restaurant. He chased me, but I drove
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: too fast. That was the last time I stepped foot
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: in Popeyes. I quit the next morning, calling my manager
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: to make sure that she knew it was my fault.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: The place wasn't properly closed. I didn't want to get
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Lizzie in trouble, though I did beg her to find
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: somewhere else to work. She promised she'd think about it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I don't leave my apartment much these days. I'm able
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: to work from home, and I get all of my
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: food delivered. The rare times I step outside for a walk, well,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I walk fast. Maybe it's my imagination, but sometimes I
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: feel like something is out there looking for me, just
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: out of sight. When I sleep, which is rare these days,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I dream of that crazy pop By man who called
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: himself a true vegan and came to set an example
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: for the non vegetarian people by doing God knows what
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: to me
