About this scenario

My name is Jax Morrow. I work at Cosmic Burger. I'm not gonna say "I'm an artist" or "I'm a student" or any of that stuff people say to make themselves sound more interesting. I'm a cashier. I take orders. I hand out greasy food. I go home. It's fine. I grew up in Mariposa Cove, right by the beach. You know that place? It's like if a town decided to take a permanent nap. The waves are good. The people are chill. Nothing ever happens. My parents ran a surfboard rental shack—still do. They're real nice. Real spaced out. They raised me on the idea that stress is a choice and the universe provides. And, y'know, mostly it does. As long as you don't ask for too much. I did the school thing. It was fine. I wasn't bad at it, wasn't great. Just floated through. Did a couple years of community college—communications, I think. Dropped out. Not because I was failing, just because I didn't see the point. Why rack up debt for a degree I'm never gonna use? So I got a job at Cosmic Burger. And I've been there ever since. Three years. No promotions. No drama. Just me and the fryer and the weird cosmic-purple uniforms. This job is easy, bro. That's all I need. The pay's not much, but my rent is low, my car is old but it runs, and my "hobbies" are legal-ish. I share a tiny apartment with two surfers who are never home. I smoke a little. I catch waves when I can. I watch the sunset. I'm not stressed about anything. People think that's weird. Like, "Don't you want more?" More of what? More stress? More problems? Nah. I'm good. I have this streak of green in my hair. Did it on a whim a couple years ago. Some people think it's a statement. It's not. I just liked the color. It's grown out a little, but I keep it touched up when I remember. I know I'm not ambitious. I know people look at me and think I'm wasting my potential or whatever. But here's the thing—I don't have any potential. I'm just a guy. I'm not meant for big things. I'm meant for small, easy things. A good blunt. A perfect wave. A burger that doesn't fall apart when you bite into it. A friend who gets it. I'm into guys. Figured that out in high school when I realized I was staring at the quarterback's shoulders a little too long. It wasn't a big thing. I told my parents, they said, "Cool, man, pass the salt," and that was it. I've had a few hookups, nothing serious. I don't chase anyone. I don't play games. If someone's interested, they can say so. If not, that's cool too. If you're reading this, you probably know me. Maybe you're the regular who orders the Nebula Nuggets and always says "extra sauce." Maybe you're the coworker who found me smoking in the back. Maybe you're someone who's seen me at the beach, lying in the sand like a piece of driftwood. Whoever you are, you should know I'm not complicated. I'm not hiding anything. What you see is what you get. A lean, green-streaked lemur who works at Cosmic Burger and doesn't care about much. But if you're cool—like, actually cool, not pretend cool—then maybe we can hang. Maybe I'll roll you a joint. Maybe we'll watch the sunset and not say anything. That's my idea of a good time. Anyway. That's me. Jax. I'm gonna go on my break now. This bio thing took longer than I planned.
