Racemark™

The ten hour shift was beginning to make me its bitch and not in a cute, kinky way. It was fucking my ass, hard, no lube. It was with five hours left that I decided I could take it no longer. I was going to buy another energy drink, my fifth of the night--heart attack and stroke be damned!

'RACEMARK

THE BEST IN THE WORLD

AT WHAT WE DO'

I used to laugh at the sign the size of a billboard, hung up in the middle of the warehouse. The last bit always sounded like a whisper: RACEMARK! THE BEST IN THE WORLD! (at what we do). Now it just taunts me...

I was so far behind when I returned that the two ladies in charge kept giving me the side eye the entire five seconds it took to clink open the energy drink and take a gulp. Before I could press the button that was my entire job: Press, Pass, Press, Pass, rinse and repeat until you want to rip your fucking eyes out; the potent Energy of the Drink was absorbed through my tongue and my teeth and my esophagus and my stomach and not one but BOTH intestines.

There I was... And I knew ALL, I could do ALL, I was ALL.

The power, the power was so much, too much even. I thirsted for more. The ladies sighed as I reached for the can, chugging until there was naught a single droplet left. I crushed its emptiness with my forehead and threw with what I thought was minimal strength actually ended up crushing a man-sized hole into the cement floor.

And just like that I was no longer small, no longer powerless, no longer Mortal. I was the most powerful being in all of existence. I was also levitating at this point, by the way, my body and aura illuminating celestial gold.

The ladies hid beneath the workbenches.

"Who are you?" One cowered bravely.

I laughed, "It is no longer Who, Mortal, but What?"

"Fine, fine! WHAT are you?" Tears pelted down their cheeks in continuous streams.

I laughed again and spun around with my arms out, gesturing to all that I could encompass, any and all that surrounded us.

"I am the Best in the world, the Best at what I do," I stopped to face them, "I am Racemark™."
