1 The Death of a simple Handyman.

"hey man…do you mind if we make a short video over here?…". (High pitched Voiced male)

"Huh?…oh…why?…did I get in your frame or something?…".

"No..not really actually…wait..are you just working here?…". (High pitched Voiced male)

"Yeah…what, is something wrong with that?…look, man…if you want to shoot some videos or something…I think you should ask the house owner first…it's not legal for you and your group to trespassing a private property like this…".

"EI!!..Brandon!!…just forget it, man…let's just do it..this old dude is just a repairman…looked at him…he's just a boomer, a killjoy…come on man…". (Blonde young male)

In the middle of our conversations, another young man intervened and pulled the hem of the asking young man shirt and whispered to his eared, the problem is he intentionally speak it louder, which I have no problem hearing even though I was on top of a 2-meter ladder.

"you know that I can hear you right?…I am a repairman..I'm not dumb or deaf…".

Though I am a little bit aged since I am 28, I am not that old, I am not some kind of a dinosaur. As I said my conjecture, the 2 of them flashes their awkward grin. Nowadays, there are just too many internet influencers going around the places searching for 'Content' they said, not to mentions there are even more wannabes going around, doing everything just to reach that internet sensation's stardom.

Which to me was a little bit worrying to see the nowadays trend, doing stupid stuff hoping to gain popularity, sometimes even put themselves and everyone around them in danger. I have a phone and an internet, just enough for me to know social media and trends, I watched them just for fun and that was about it. Looking at the 2 18 something kid below me and another 5 of their friends in the distance goofing around, I know these guys were certainly have something stupid on their plan.

How? Simply because right now I was supposed to be the only person in these 3 million dollars seaside manor. The owner of this mansion wanted to install off-grid power in his mansion, since he wanted it cheap, he called me a Handymen, to install his solar panel up on his garage rooftop. Now, when there are 7 kids in the compound, then certainly they are a trespasser. But still these spoiled superstar wannabe bastards, 100% will never heed my advice, instead, I know they will instantly decide that I was at fault at everything, spouting about 'You have no right' or 'I Have a right', or even 'I am Offended by this' or this 'Triggered me'. All the bullshit about their self entitled thing, which I have no mood or time to entertain them.

"You know what?!..Yeah..you are just a fucking repairman..what the fuck do you know about anything…". (High pitched Voiced male)

His at first slightly polite attitude turned instantly, then both of them then joined by the other 5 on the distance started to hurl insults at me. Of the 5 2 started to pull out their phone and started to record the whole thing, and even shouted 'I'm going to post this!!' and 'You're live!!'.

"Look guys..you can say whatever you want...do whatever you want…but the owner of this house tasked me with this job…either way, I need to finish this work..and also, since you are all here trespassing I have to call the owner and the cop…And..<BAKK!!>...The He!!..<TTHUDD!!>..<CRAK!!>…".

I was up the ladder just now, now in mere seconds, I find myself staring a the Blue sky. It hurts, everything is painful, my sight is slowly fading away and what is left that I saw was all covered in a red tinge. Oh no, those bastards kicked the stairs and I fell, I broke several bones in my body, Damn it. They even shove and fell the stairs on me. Fuck you!!.. Fuck you, you shit head wannabes!!.

<KKLAANGG!!>. <BBRRAAAAKKK!!>.

"What the fuck man!!..hahaha, look, guys~ the boomer just..Psssiiuuu~..buuk~…head first on the ground..that's so fucking EPIC!!..". (Blonde young male)

"Bro…Why the Fuck did you kick the stairs man!!… oh shit!!..shit!!..oh fuck!!..you just kick the ladder, making him fall, then you even shove the steel ladder slamming on him!!..the fuck is wrong with you?…". (African American Teen)

Unlike the others, who are still clamoring, chanting its 'Epic' to celebrates on their live feed, one of the young adults comes closer to the bleeding man who has been staying still on the ground the whole time. As he saw the condition of the man, instantly he snapped back a few steps and throw up the content of his stomach.

"yo, dude!..Chill man!..stop overreacting!…what is so bad about..BBLLEERRGGGHHH!!!..".

The one who recorded the whole thing live feels something was off. Although pushing someone on top of a 2-meter ladder was already something that is definitely 'off' enough. As soon as he saw the lying man conditions, his first reaction was to records the whole thing but, the moment he saw it. Instead, he vomited on the man.

That night, all 7 of them has finally got what they wanted, to become famous. But instead of getting cheered and idolized, what they got was manslaughter charges, prison sentence, and a ticket of eternal damnation label for the rest of their lives. As for the one person, thanks to the viewers, the repairmen's body was found right where he was. He was confirmed dead on the spot, with a broken spine, neck, His face was smashed by the steel ladder, killing him instantly. The man was Azmel Oxborn, 29 years old, Half Asian half White, an orphan with only a high school diploma, and honest handyman.

On the day of his funeral, although he was someone who has no relatives, but many visited the ceremony to wished him goodbyes, an honest man who makes an honest living with only his skill, that day, the funeral ground was filled with men and women who identified themselves as craftsmen, laborer, worker stand in silent. The one who got famous instead was the dead handyman.
