Missed
Appointment
by Michael A. Kechula
“How dare
you stand me up!” Marcia yelled, while
swinging a rolling pin at Harry’s head.
“I waited hours for you to show up. Get
outta here. I never want to see your ugly face
again!”
“Don’t
hit me. It’s not my fault. I got kidnapped
by huge monsters.”
“Lying
bastard!” She swung again.
“I swear
on my mother’s grave. Gigantic locusts were
hiding in the bushes right outside Clancy’s
Pub. They grabbed me when I walked by.”
“Bull! So
tell me, Jerk-o, how’d you manage to escape?”
“I
promised them a bunch of Bugs-R-Us gift
certificates...and you.”
“Me?”
Suddenly,
giant tentacles tore the roof off. They reached
inside and grabbed the gift certificates and
Marcia.
Seconds later,
Harry heard horrible screams, followed by a
monstrous burp.
“Thanks,
guys,” he hollered. “Next time
you’re at Clancy’s, drinks are on me.”
