"Knock knock.."

“Knock knock”
“Who’s there?”
“….”
“……. Who’s there?”
“I am a friend”
“Friend? What friend? I don’t have any friends anymore…”
“… I’m your well-wisher”
“What? I’m not going to go and suicide in the Well just because you wish for it…”
“Let me come in… nobody recognizes me anymore”
“Go away… nobody comes here anymore…”
“…”
“What did you say your name was?”
“I didn’t tell you my name…”
“Ok. Who are you?”
“Job opportunity”
“What’s that? I have never heard of such a name”
“Never? How’s that possible? But I’m here now”
“…”
“Let me come in… I’ll explain”
“No! You better go back where you came from…”
“I have come from the past… and wanted to look at the future…”
“Oh.. Really? What was it like in the past?”
“Ahh… I was living in this human world… with lots of things of my kind… you know, all job opportunities…”
“Ohh… so you had a community thingy…”
“Yeah, sort of… and we were quite famous back then…”
“Really? All of you?”
“Yes. Most of us. People used to know our importance. They used to wait for us and grab us whenever they saw us”
“Grab you? Why in the world would somebody grab you?”
“Because, after converting us into jobs, they would get money…”
“Money? What’s that? Why do you keep talking funny words?”
“I’m talking pretty normal… what happened to the world here?”
“Ohh… as if you don’t know… ‘job opportunity’… are you the real one? The one as described in history books?”
“Yeah... Maybe”
“Ohh my god! You really are…”
“…  …”
“Come in now… let me have a look at you… I have always wondered… what do you look like, in person?”
“Ohh thanks… I actually look like a pay-package and a work profile combined together”
“Are you again talking funny words? … Ohh my god… you really do look like the way they describe you in history books”
“Tell me what happened to my community”
“Your species was wiped out from earth when a monster called ‘subprime crisis’ gave birth to another monster, ‘global economic slowdown’, who played havoc within our community and all the people are jobless now...”
“…”
“Even those who had a job were given what they call as ‘pink slips’ and from then on we are on the path to stone age again…”
“I really feel that you people should do something about it. Generate more job opportunities… be entrepreneurs… be creative enough to start something of your own… … …”
“Ohh my god… you really talk like… like you are from some other world… hey everybody, come on… have a look… look who’s here… A JOB OPPORTUNITY!!!”
(A huge mob of people gathers around, and upon seeing the job opportunity, they pounce on it… many people die in the fight, many are injured… only the one who was cunning enough to cheat or bribe the authorities … moreover, who has a ‘referral’… the lucky one emerges out as the winner… everybody else busy themselves in thinking that they tried, at least… everyone is satisfied… no more job opportunity exists in the world… the calm restores after the small storm… the world is at standstill once again… )
