/lit/ - Literature

I would be grateful if any of you could give me another view on this short story: https://pastebin.com/GM7eyd7D
Wrote it last night, only 1.7k words.

I work in a machine shop cutting steel bars. It is mind bunking besides the fact that I can listen to anything I want through earbuds. I don't think listening to books much helps writing though, but maybe storytelling in person.
Soon my friends and I are getting back into starting a gardening company. Sounds like something guatemalans do but nice old white ladies don't like having them around too much. Not much more /lit/ but at least we can all become our own boss in some way.
