I stopped so hard I lurched, the burrito I had just bought almost launching out of my hands.
An organ grinder stood in the square. His monkey danced listlessly.
“Does he do tricks?” I asked.
“I tried to teach him to fetch,” the monkey said. “But every time I let him off the leash, he ran away. Like an asshole.”
It was a good line, especially for a monkey. I patted my pockets.
“You want half my burrito?” I asked.
The organ grinder darted forward, grabbed my burrito. Kept running.
“Told you,” the monkey said, reaching for a pack of cigarettes.
Awesome! Loved it!
Pleasantly humorous and clever. 🙂
Good story.
Thank you, Trevor, I needed that.
This was fun…
Good one, Trevor!
Laughed out loud! …more than just a smile.
