Wait And See
by M. V.
Montgomery
As it turns out, one evening I was
at a private auction bidding on two items:
- a nutrition bar with super-health
benefits
- an elixir so potent it was
said to arrest the aging process
Seated next to me at a long table
were my two fellow-bidders, each elderly and
infirm but with far more disposable income than
me.
So, shrewdly (or so I supposed), I
decided to bid on the bar and let the others
fight it out over the miracle drink. But
before either could object, I stole a minute
“sample” of each.
I ended up winning the nutrition bar,
which was delicious, but nothing very magical.
As for that sip of elixir—
Well, we’ll just have to see
how long I can hold out, won’t we?
