Hey buddy, I just wanted chat for a bit. Got some time?
Sure thing pal, what’s up.
So you know we’re going on this class vacation tomorrow!? And it’s gonna be supppppppperrrr fun!
It’s cool, I’ve been practicing my boogie boarding! Almost got my kick flip down!!!
You’re definitely gonna land it soon buddy ….. annnnddd I don’t think we’ll have a lot of time to hang out since we’re in difficult groups and everything…
Yea, I know, it sucks…
And I was thinking about Lucy too. The one I’ve been telling you about!
The Haitian girl with the bleached blonde hair!?! You going talk to her?
I’m gonna try! But since we’re gonna be in different groups and I’m gonna try to talk to Lucy AND I’m 15 now…. I think I should leave you home… this time…
Lee thought to himself while looking at his teddy bear, Buddy. Lee’d had Buddy since the 3rd grade. Buddy was old and off brown. Even lost an eye in The Great Adventure of Black Hill Canyon Gulch.
“I don’t think the girls at school will think you’re cool.” Lee said.
Lee could see in Buddy’s eye that he understood and was rooting for him. I mean what are best friends for.
“Look… I honestly don’t know what y’all are mad about. It’s like y’all never heard a story about true love. So what if one’s made of skin and bones and the other’s made of nuts and bolts!
I mean, isn’t this kinda thing people root for? Yea, Lithia is a toaster but they’re a smart, AI toaster!!! It learned exactly how to warm Lances toast and his heart…”
The author says about his new robosexual novella “Bread to Love”.
Now here’s Olli with the weather report.
I like these flowers I’ve grow They make me proud Jumping up high, Like Michael Jordon Tulips have staved my boredom The warm sun on my back Beading a bit to hot “It’s to dang hot!” That’s a thought I have as the sweat on my arm Trickles on these garden hose I’m done for the day, the sun is low I’ve stayed all day, mellowed.
I wish my parents didn’t fight I wish we weren’t in the middle I wish they would stop yelling and calling each other mean names I wish I wasn’t their messenger Why won’t they leave me alone for a bit Why am I sad Why am I mad Can’t they get along Can’t everything go back to before, when we were more
*side note- My wish came true
“Walking into the new Flower Emporium was so exciting! It was just built. I don’t know why they needed this big ass building but shrugs eh, more flowers for me. These flowers smell so exotic and they’re really pretty too. thought Fernando as he walked around.
The store had everything you would need for cultivating flowers and other plants. Shelves and shelves of seeds, pots, tools, even UV lights for indoor growing.
As he was browsing around Fernando heard this constant noise. Like two blocks hitting each other.
When he saw an employee leaving the back room, Fernando had to stop her and ask about the noise. Her name tag said Prim. “Hello ma’am, I was wondering if you could help me with something?” “Hi, yes! How can I help you?” Prim said. “Thank you, I was wondering what that sound is?”
Prim instantly got wide eyed and stammered “J-j-just some trucks being loaded and unloaded. Flowers are heavy ya know.”
While it made sense, Fernando could help be suspicious.
“Ok, thank you. It was really bothering me haha.”
“You’re welcome…” she said softly as she scurried down the hose isle.
Later that night Fernando was scrolling through his feed when he saw the headline “Goat Fighting ring exposed at Flower Emporium!”
Presses play*
“70 goat escaped today from the new Flower Emporium off of 5th and 12th. The goats escaped the pins they were being held in and get this! They ate ALL OF THE FLOWERS in the store! The police were called in to help trapped customers and had this to say after all the goats were rounded up”
“In all my years of policing, this has got to be the biggest goat fighting ring I have ever broken up. So far none of the perpetrators have been identified or apprehended” “Luckily no one was seriously hurt, there was a bald man sent to the hospital after a goat named king Ranch ate his hair.”
“Like and subscribe for more weird news”
*WTF Fernando thought.
Knock, knock, knock
“Who the hell could that be?” drip drip drip “It’s raining cats and dogs!” Tameeka said in her NY accent.
Looking at her ring camera, she could see an umbrella but the person was obscured. “Can I help you?” said Tameeka
“Yes, pleeeeeease! I was wondering if I could borrow some ground beef? My kids are terrible hungry and we haven’t eaten in days….”
“Heck no, showing up here in the rain asking for beef! You’re looking for trouble!Please leave ”
With a smirk, umbrella man said “Lucky for you…… I was.”
“Please….Take me to your leader.” begged Zoltan.
“Ummmm suuure.” screeeeech “Manager on Duty to register 4, Manager on duty to register 4”
“This is a waste of time Sola!” thought Zoltan.
“Well, Zol-tan, if you didn’t take that right at Jupiter, we wouldn’t have been THREE LUNAR CYCLES LATE!!!” Sola thinking side eyed.
