Elemental Dissonance.

Planet Earth,

UAE, Dubai.

Year 2019,

The city of Dubai is inarguably one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Located on the northeastern coastline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is also the global business centre of the Middle East. It is the city of rich folks who enjoy their lives to the fullest, never care for the poor in the slightest, but at the same time, it is also a city of dreams for expats who come from poorer parts of the world just like our protagonist.

In this city of rich, there's an area for the poor as well, in the labour camps as to say. These expats came from their home countries hoping to earn some money and send back to their families so they won't have to starve.

Our protagonist is just like these foolish people who work their a.s.s off day and night, but still ended up being a failure. But as the saying goes 'Every dog has its day', his days are going to come as well, very soon, it would not only be a Grand event for him but also for the whole world…

Khalid labour camp.

In this old, badly-conditioned labour camp, a young man could be seen sleeping on the bottom bunk of a double-bunk bed, suddenly his smartphone started to ring loudly indicating that someone was calling him. That young man immediately opened his eyes and looked at his smartphone with a sleepy expression on his face, to see who was calling him this early at 3 AM, but it was an unknown number.

He picked up the call and questioned the caller in Arabic with an annoyed tone.

"Who is it? Don't you know it's 3 AM here ?".

A familiar voice answered him.

" It's me, Omar, yesterday my phone fell from the building and got broken."

"Why did you call me now? You should be at your delivery right now."

"Don't tell me you forgot about that?"

"About wha…."

"My God, you really forgot about today's consignment? I'm glad that I called you now or else you would be still sleeping like a log. Go change into your uniform and hurry you're going to be late, if you were to delay any longer, I would call you later."

Hearing this, he became thunderstruck, he ended the call without even thanking his colleague. He then stormed toward his bathroom with a uniform in his hand. 20 minutes later, he came out of the bathroom with a uniform on his body, without wasting a single second more, he walked toward the exit of the building in a hurry.

He stopped at the road looking for a taxi so that he can reach his workplace fast. After waiting for a while, he noticed that there wasn't a single taix on the road.

"Has every taxi driver in this city died or something?"

After waiting a bit more, a taxi came toward him, he screamed while waving his hand at the taxi.

"Hey stop, it's urgent, take me to Zakiya Imports and Exports located in Al quoz industrial area 3, you can have a few dirhams extra, just take me there."

The taxi driver was an old man, he was yawning, indicating that he didn't get enough sleep, he looked at the young man who suddenly jumped in the middle of the road.

"There's no need to jump in the middle of the road, I wasn't going to refuse anyway, jump on."

He opened up the door and sat on the taxi while still mumbling something.

"Man I'm running late today, hope someone just takes care of my consignment."

20 minutes later, his taxi arrived at Al Quoz industrial area 3 and he got off the taxi, paid that old driver a few extra dirhams just as he promised, he then ran toward his workplace without wasting a single moment more.

------------------------------------------------

5 minutes later,

Al Zakiya Imports and Exports.

A middle-aged man could be seen walking to and fro waiting for someone at the front entrance while having an angry expression on his face.

"Where is he? Doesn't he know he has to deliver the goods to our client by 8 AM? With many requests, I got him this job but he's going to have me fire too for recommending him."

"I guess he's late now, I gotta assign someone to get the job done." He sighed and just as he was about to go inside, suddenly a voice came from behind "Riyaz, Riyaz wait for me."

"So you're finally here huh? Haven't I told you about this consignment around 6 days ago, why are you late?"

"Sorry something just came up last night, I slept quite late yesterday."

"I was going to assign someone else to do the job and the whole schedule would've been messed up but you're here now so it's fine, here catch."

Riyaz threw a bunch of keys towards him.

"Take the truck number 4, Omar just finished his work, that truck is vacant right now. I know you haven't done your breakfast yet, so after delivering the stuff, you should stop at a nearby restaurant around Abu Dhabi and have your fill, I don't want to be known as a boss who works his employees on an empty stomach." Riyaz chuckled while walking to his office.

"Okay." Said Bilal and went directly to the back of the office where all the trucks are located.

He started the truck and left for his consignment without wasting any more time.
