Casey remembered the day she left and moved to the city, she was full hope and ready for anything that the big wide world threw at her. But things did not work out well, in fact it went terribly wrong.

She couldn't find work and before she new it she was broke, sitting in her unfurnished flat starring at a letter. At the top of the letter was a word all in big caps, RENT. She new if she didn't find a job in the next 3 days she would not have anywhere to live, she would be kicked out on the streets with no where to go.

As she got nearer she wondered what the pay was going to be like as she had noticed she had entered the "rough" area of the city (down town), it was a dark, dingey and unpleasant and full of the worst kind of people. To her relief she didn't have to go any further as she had come to a black building with a bright pink neon sign that read "fat foodies", she took a deep breath and stepped inside....
