Melancholy Hill

Elijah woke to his alarm clock blasting On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz.  Elijah pulled himself out of bed, shaking off the remnants of a hangover.  He had been celebrating with his work buddies on his new promotion to the head of security at the mall.  Elijah felt depressed, he couldn't pinpoint his sadness, because he should excited.  Not only had he received a promotion that promised less work and more pay, but Julie, a secretary at the mall had agreed to go with him on a date on saturday.  As Elijah walked to Casa D' Waffles he admitted to himself that his life was missing something.  Elijah waited in the line for Casa D' Waffles listening to his ipod, he finally was seated in he cafe and ordered the free waffle special.  Elijah thanked his waitress and headed back to the apartments to use the exercise equipment.  Elijah liked to work out a lot, and from what people told him it showed.  He was disappointed that mall security didn't call for any physical enforcement, but he was content, he didn't really have any desire to fight anyone.  Working out made him feel a little better, so he decided to visit the church down the road.  Elijah observed the street around him after stepping out of the castle apartments.  The city didn't look good, trash littered the street, people wandered aimlessly around the sidewalks, and all he could smell was hot trash.  As Elijah walked towards the church he said, "Someone needs to clean this town up."
