People are lazy, she thought for the tenth time that day. How hard was it to take your rubbish and food with you as you exited the cinema and walked right. past. the. BIN. Oh, she knew, if it wasn't for these lazy people, she wouldn't have a job. She wouldn't be scraping through. Still, lazy people..
She reached her right hand under the chair to grab the red and white striped popcorn box. As the box moved in front of her body towards the rubbish bag on her left, something caught her eye. She paused, looking inside the box, trying to see what she was looking at.
She kept staring unable to recognise what it was. As in a dream, she slowly put down the rubbish bag and took hold of the box with her left hand. Without thinking, her right hand moved and as she saw it enter the box she thought that she should stop. But she couldn't and then she felt it between her fingers. She turned her hand so that it was facing her and moved it closer to her face.
Bill, the other cleaner, came up behind her. "What have you got?" He asked. She turned in fright as she hadn't heard him coming. He squinted to see what she was holding. He reached out to take it from her. She closed her hand around it and said it was nothing. She immediately picked up the rubbish bag and quickly turned around to keep picking up all the crap.
