Oh boy you hear that noise coming from someone's headphones. That means that they have the volume up really high. That reminds me of somepony. However, this is a human. Say hello to Lemon Zest. She loved Rock, and listened to it all day. Today she was going to her summer job. Working at a construction site. Believe me she would rather not be working during the summer, but she wanted tickets for her favorite band which was coming in three weeks. The only way to get money for those tickets was to work for it. Every ticket has been sold out except for front row seats and she just needed thirty more bucks, and one front row seat would be her's.

She worked hard almost everyday. One other thing is she was the only female working there. The men always would sneak a peak every time she'd bend over to fix something. She got whistles here and there, but it didn't matter. She didn't hear them. She had her headphones on when she was working, of course she wore a helmet, but she still had her headphones tucked underneath it. One problem she had was she couldn't really follow instructions. Kind of hard to follow instructions when you can't hear them. It's important to follow rules at a construction site.

However, the workers would help her out. I mean if she got fired they would lose the great view they got from her. One day the construction site was working on a very dangerous construction project for a company. They were getting paid by Filthy Rich industries to build a simple house for her daughter. His daughter was to young to live on her own, but she got what she wanted no matter what. She wanted a house for one of her birthday parties. They needed some people to work overtime and Hammer the owner of the construction company said that he would pay anyone who worked overtime today. Of course Lemon Zest was the first one to take the offer.

Lemon Zest worked overtime and couldn't wait to get paid. She had her headphones on and went up the second floor on the house they were working on. Being on the second floor is dangerous isn't it. Well we got a nurse here that had had experience from people who have gotten in accidents at construction sites, Nurse Redheart.

"Many accidents happen at construction sites. Some could lead to injury or even death. If you work at a construction site you should stay alert not listen to loud music all day. Most accidents I've seen are from people that fall from the second or higher floor. I've seen broken arms, ribs, legs, even a pole that stabbed someone's leg, very huge cuts and of course the old nail through the finger."

Well that's bad, and very bad for Lemon Zest. She was jamming out to her favorite song and was dancing a bit. She accidently hit her hand on a button that brought equipment up to the second floor by a platform. However equipment was being put on there, but was unbalanced.

"Hey!! No!! Stop that platform!!" A construction worker shouted, but it was to late.

Lemon Zest was still jamming out until the platform came up and pushed her.

"Woah!!"

Made her lose her footing making her fall of the second floor.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!"

She would have survived and she would've gotten broken bones, except...

*Stab*

She fell on some nails sticking out. Stabbing her.

"Oh shit!!! Somebody call on ambulance!!!" Another construction worker said.

Lemon Zest impaled herself with the nails. Some cut through her major arteries, stabbed her lungs and one impaled her heart making her bleed out. She was dead.

To all you workers out there who like to listen to music while working, here's a tip. Listen to your music through one ear and make sure the other one can hear the stuff around you.

Well Lemon Zest you got paid. However, she's using her money for a coffin she needs now. Pink slip for you Lemon Zest for dying on the job...Rock on.
