Fisherman 2
Short story in the port city of the Republic

"Fucking horrid day today" says the fisherman as thunder strikes. "Couldn't get a single catch today, can you believe it"
"'Course I fucking can, I've been stuck on this piece of shit boat with you for days"
"Haha lighten up mate, we're arriving just now, I think I'll go for a nice cup of coffee when we get there"
"I'm going to sleep like a log, my body's all sore from this shit, I should find another job"
"Sure then, I've heard there's a lot of new jobs at the inner country, factories and all"
"Nah fuck that, I'll find something on my own"
After hearing his coworker rant about how this job sucks, the fisherman can only think to himself that he probably will never abandon this job, it's pretty neat after all.

Once in port, the fisherman has delivered the merchandise, a tad bit less than usual due to the wills of the ocean, but it is what it is. Today is a coffee day, nothing like a warm cup of coffee that doesn't suck, the fisherman used to go to shitty coffee shops until he found the one he liked, and the instant coffee that he takes on trips to the ocean frankly tastes like mud, sure it does the job but it doesn't even compare to a proper cup, those in the coffee producing nations must be blessed with good cups all the time, or maybe not, there's probably bad coffee everywhere.
Walking the streets, it's pretty calm with the rain and all, very few persons walking, very few markets open, the soldiers are just shooting at the target ranges, it's good how people don't like getting in brawls when the weather is all dark and stuff, makes it easy to trip and eat dirt, the fisherman knows from experience.
And look at that, how easy it is to get to the famous coffee shop "Étranger" when there isn't a mob of violent assholes in the middle.
"Hello"
"Dry your boots first!" says the shop owner as he points to a towel on the floor
"I'll take a cup of coffee and a brownie today, mate"
After wiping the boots, let's see who's on table 3 today. Oh it's the dentist, that madman.
"What's up dentist, still torturing your patients"
"They do it all to themselves, really, what about your teeth fisherman? they good? I could check for you if you want"
"Now that's a classic dentist response right there, but I'm going to pass, I brush 'em everyday!"
"Here is 2 cups of coffee, a brownie, and one coffee cake" Delivers the server.
"I'd say I do a great job, even our server here let me check his teeth and it all came out good"
The server simply shivers and turns back quickly.
"Really now? You left the poor guy scared a bit there"
"He's just funny like that". The fisherman and the dentist both take long sips of their cups.
"Anyways, I've just gotten hired by the university to give medical classes, feeling pretty good"
"Oh dear, an entire generation of psychopath dentists like you, that can't go wrong"
"You say that as if every other dentist wasn't as sadistic as I am, hell I'd even say I'm on the nicer side."
"He's not!" shouts the coffee server from behind the counter.

"See ya later mate, let me check your teeth sometime!"
"When hell freezes over, maybe"
Slam!
"What a scary friend he is" mumbles the fisherman to himself.
