Get Away From Me
Knock Knock Knock. "Pizza hut! You order pizza?" The door slowly creeps open and a face appears out of the shadows of the dark house. Two figures stand outside waiting for the face to acknowledge them. The face's eyes shift slowly from one figure to the other, finally noticing a black bag in the hands of the shorter, better built, fare figure. The door opens a little wider, reviling that the face has a body. The face and body step outside. "I beleive I did order a pizza..." It replys as it pulls out a wallet. "That will be $16.45 please." The larger figure tells the face with a body. "Here's $17.00." It says as it disappears back into the house. The two figures turn around and fade into the black of night...
Accually, the two figures were my cousin Jamie and I. Me being the "shorter, better built, fare figure..." And Jamie was "the other one". Last night from 5 - 12 last night solemnly deleivering pizza's for the good of the land. The land being Kenora. We were the fastest pizza delivery team in the land. He drove, I directed and handled the money. We deleivered over $430 in pizza hut products. Oh yeah, and the "face with a body" was just some stoner. Stoners were like half the fucking clientel. Like dude! Drugs are bad for you children. Don't be a fool, stay in school.
