elvis

....confesses at gunpoint, he just wants a sandwich. the police agree he seems pretty jovial for a bankrobber and send him home to sobber up. in the confusion, i over charge him.

man who didn't want to pay

"911, what is your emergency?"
"well, i gave him his bill and now he is threatening to break his plate over my head. oh, wait, he is paying, but clearly still agitated."

man with a brown paper sack

it was leaking. the sack. he wanted me to nuke the contents. i wouldn't. this was the wrong answer, so he swung the sack over the customer's heads on the way out.

annette

annette leaves a trail of broken pieces behind her, for she is lost. the grown up gretel tears bits of jason's heart, and gabriel's security and travis's self-esteem to mark her way.

kent

kent watched television. if he wasn't home, one could estimate his departure time by the set's warmth. still, he was creative. his car was a sedulous interplay of metal and duct tape.

mark

mark wore a white man's fro and called himself chichi rodriguez when out dancing, or just because. he switched from engineering to english in his second year; he really didn't believe ertw.

joel

joel used a "move" that would make my breath catch in my throat. once we almost got arrested for trying to tree a couch. he was a keeper that someone else kept.

me

jenn wonders what she will be when she grows up. it's a little joke but one she likes to use to mask uncertainty. she aspires to be SUPERCOOL, but spunky is good.
