“Ugh—this sucks.”
“What sucks?”
“Everything.”
“Everything isn’t an answer.”
“Sure it is.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Whatever.”
“What in particular sucks right now? You obviously meant something.”
“All of it.”
“You’re an idiot.”
“Don’t you agree that everything sucks right now?”
“No.”
“Climate change, politics, natural disasters, constant fear of nuclear war and terrorism, rampant racism…the single life. Tom Petty’s dead. It adds up.”
“Wow. What about, I dunno, your burger?”
“Juicy. Best I’ve ever had.”
“See?”
“But look—I dripped beef grease all over my shirt. It’s probably ruined.”
“Oh, shit.”
“I know. It’s like, the ultimate betrayal.”
“Totally.”
I really enjoyed your story 🙂
Thanks for reading!
