Not your usual night shift 

(This story is a spin off from the magic lamp series and i wrote it using my phone)

A new night begins at the FedEx warehouse, barely ten people showed up to work today, One of those persons is Ryan, he's just your average Joe, there's literally nothing special about him, he's working night shifts because it pays more, he barely goes out during the week or the weekend so he's not missing anything in the day, he has almost no friends nor even a girlfriend and he enjoys the calmness of the night also there's only one supervisor that mostly doesn't show up to you know... Supervise the workers wich is essential to the job.

Our friend Ryan works at the revision area, he has to make sure no illegal stuff comes inside the packages, bombs; drugs; weapons; organs... you name it, ryan has seen it already, so he's not usually surprised when that kind of packages arrive to the revision line, from time to time they even keep some of the illegal stuff when the supervisors are not looking ...Coff! Weed coff!..

But tonight a strange package with a wooden box inside came up to his line, he opened the box and inside was a strange dagger with an engraved handle and a knob, next to the dagger there was a letter, Ryan got curious so he opened the small letter to read it.

"Dear Jean, i sended to you this strange object that we took from that weird old man that owed us money, he said to be careful with this dagger, that it can alter physical matter, that it can even change reality and that it should never fall into the wrong hands, at least those were his last words before dying by our hand, i don't believe in mystical shit and magic but i know you collect daggers so I hope this one goes nice with your collection, see you soon.

Roland."

Ryan finished reading the letter and shrugged it off then turned his attention back to the dagger, what a strange blade he thought to himself, he looked at the handle and saw a few inscriptions near the knob.

Undo, Autopilot, Numb and Reality Change.

He realized that the knob could be turned around to choose one of the options in the handle, so he turned the knob and left it at the autopilot option, the handle then started changing color, turning to a beautiful but not too bright blue.

-Wow, cool, it has RGB lights -He thought to himself-.

Then Ryan started playing with the dagger out of boredom, making different movements, stabbing, slicing, even he started making like he was dicing an onion.

-this would work nice for my kitchen. -He said to himself and even giggled a bit-.

He was pretty distracted while playing with the dagger and accidentally cut himself on the finger, making him yelp for a moment and retract his hand by reflex, he then looked at his injured hand to see the wound, but there was no bleeding coming from the deep cut he made on his own finger, thus leaving him dumbfounded, suddenly the dagger started glowing from the handle and he got even more surprised when he saw the cut starting to heal, leaving no mark where the cut was just seconds ago.

-W-what is going on? D-did i smoked too much weed before starting my shift?. -He stuttered-

The dagger then stoped glowing and went back to the normal color it has been this since he choose the option.

A feminine figure started creeping closer to Ryan's line of work while he was worried about what just happened. Ryan grabbed the dagger by it's handle and kept looking at it while the feminine figure kept getting closer, till the encounter was inevitable.

-WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING SLACKING OFF AT WORK YOU FUCKING PARASI...!

The supervisor yelled at ryan and scared him, but she was cut short "literally" when Ryan turned back quickly, totally scared and using the dagger to defend himself, slicing the young supervisor right on the neck, the girl's face went completely pale after the incident.

It felt like an hour has passed after what just happened, but no, it has only been a few seconds that felt like forever, they both looked at their eyes and where not even able to produce a sound, Ryan has just started to realize what he has done to his supervisor, the dagger fell from his hands and he started breathing again.

-i-i-i’m sor…

Ryan stammered and could not finish his phrase before the young supervisor’s head started to slide from her neck and fell from her resting position, shocking them both once again, thankfully Ryan’s reflexes where fast enough and he grabbed the head right on time. The young supervisor’s face was still pale and barely made any eye movements, she was still in shock and was accepting her last moments on earth before leaving to a place of eternal rest... or so she thought.

The now headless body stood there motionless and Ryan could not believe his eyes, his supervisor’s head was resting on his hands, a blond female head, her beautiful face once full of life was now completely pale, he recently decapitated her and many thoughts where now going through his mind.

-I'm going to jail, i commited murder by accident, my life has ended i have no future, what i'm gonna do now!? should i hide the body or just go to the police and confess my crime, maybe they'll lower my years in prison.

This kept him distracted enough from the fact that the place where the girl's head used to be was now a stump with no blood or flesh at sight, totally covered in skin, like if it was that way since she was born. It didn't took him long enough to realize that something wasn't right with the body's neck so he got closer to inspect it.

-Wait!... the-there's not a single drop of blood coming from her neck, W-w-what's going on in here!? am i going crazy!? maybe it's just a bad dream -he kept inspecting the stump and talking to himself-.

-Stop breathing on  my neck i-it tickles! -the head suddenly talked once again, giggled for a second and shut herself up pretty fast after realizing she could still talk-.

The sudden noises coming from the head startled Ryan almost dropping the head.
