As people rooted for him, clapping, cheering, and chanting "ONCELER!! ONCELER!!", the crowds raised their voices, creating a wave of excitement filled with enthusiasm. Later, after the presentation, Onceler signed autographs for his fans. I decided to join in, staying in the line, waiting. When he saw me handing him a paper to autograph, his blue eyes met mine. I edged closer as he accepted my offer. However, his face looked unfriendly, with a cold gaze, almost dismissive. Maybe he was just tired or it was his natural demeanor. He may have been intimidating, but I couldn't care less; I found myself drawn to him.

"Thank you," I said in a shy tone as he nodded. After he finished, I walked past him, squealing in happiness as my heart pounded with every step. "OMG!" I whispered to myself, keeping my voice low to avoid awkwardness, making it unnoticeable.

I hugged the paper tightly, appreciating it, and then came back to my cardboard - my "home," I guess - placing the paper under it. Suddenly, hunger growled in my stomach. "I'm hungry; maybe I should check if I have enough money to buy." I reached into my pocket and found only 20 dollars so i minus it with 20 cents, just enough to buy a plain bread. I stood up, looking for the bakery, and saw Onceler standing there buying something. I felt my cheeks flush and turned away. Soon, when he left, I decided to come inside the bakery shop and buy bread. I finally bought food and began to eat the bread. My hunger turned into satisfaction. I came back to my place, sitting there and wondered to myself how I would find a job. I wrote some notes to make a plan. "Hmm, I wonder if I can find some job here that has a high salary, so I can find a cheap apartment."

Later, the strong wind made me shiver. Onceler was walking at night and saw me lying on a piece of cardboard on the streets. He looked at me with a hint of sadness or sympathy in his eyes, feeling a little bad, but then he shrugged it away dismissing it. I didn't notice him because I was focusing on making a plan. I spent hours writing and writing. "C'mon, y/n, think! Think!" I said, tapping the pencil on my head, but it was no use, but I refuse to give up. So I took an action.

The feeling of urgency to find a job, anything to get off the streets, I spent days knocking on each door but had no luck, still the same feeling of facing the rejection, well..some do accepted me i clean and clean I did all my best thing that I could until the end of the day wiping my sweat with a clean clothe looking at the night sky hoping for a good things to happen.

"please please just give me some luck atleast once!"i sigh praying leaning against the wall, checking my pocket for coins or tokens to buy necessary things essentially, suddenly a newspaper shove into my face through the strong wind "what..the..?" I slowly pulled out the newspaper into my face reading it and it said "buy the most convenient thneeds!!" while walking and saw the thneed store infront of me i was about to get inside to buy one to keep me stop from shivering through the cold wind, but sadly, there were none, i read the sign its already
sold out

"damn its already sold out people are really eager to buy the thneeds"

A sudden realization took over me,"Wait...a minute ..a thneed?"
Suddenly, I found a glimmer of hope and a big idea: I could apply for a job at Onceler's thneed company. *gasp* "that's right!! I could apply a job for a thneed company!! But...why didn't i think of that before?" But i knew some rumors said that he was a ruthless man who would do anything in success for money even if it means risking your life a business man who would stop at nothing achieve his goals but desperation had a way of erasing fear despite the rumors I felt the need to get to know him better maybe.. maybe the rumors are wrong who knows?.
As I was walking past the factory i noticed a sign hanging outside "vacant" my eyes lit up "could this be my Chance?" I thought to myself
Approaching the imposing building, my heart pounded with anticipation. A guard stood at the entrance, his face stern he's tall and quite scary.
