eventually
as reply to Toast and Coffee
Marc Love resented being a celebrity. But he was grateful that he was an unknown
celebrity

stan's day
as reply to Waking up
What did Stan look like? He was a thin guy. And wore a funny hat. He was more than those things. But whenever I heard people describe the guy, they always used those attributes. Skinny guy. Always wore that funny hat.

Although the bathroom was bright, it felt like the wrong place to be. Sort of like an alley at the wrong hour of the night.

bar habits
as reply to He needed
As soon as he arrived at the bar, he had a
beer
in hand. The golden lager vanished in three gulps. A long, loud belch escaped from his barrel chest. Some people at the bar peered over. His coworkers laughed. The bartender got him his second beer un prompted.
That beer...

see you later
as reply to Tip Jar
He thought about the tip jar. Guesstimated how much was in there. Tried distracting himself until his mind brought back what he was really thinking about. Back at the mansion. With Mr. Green.
He looked for him. He never stayed at the cafe long. But Stan had never seen Mr. Green...

as reply to In Agreement
Fuck, Stan thought. Had what just happened, really happened?
"Relax, Stanley boy."
Fuck was he reading his mind?
"I know that must've been... alarming. But I promise you you'll get used to it."
Stanley was too afraid to look over at Mr. Green. He tried to steal a peak when Mr. Green seemed to...

"Where this guy at?"
"Over there."
"What that neighborhood?"
"Yeah."
"Fuck does a guy like that want to buy drugs from people like us?"
"I don't know."
"What's his name again?"
"Mr. Green."
"What kind of name is that?"
"I don't know. The guy likes money. Can you just be quiet for a moment."
A moment passes.
"So Mr. Green eh?...

bread
as reply to Dance Dance
On the edge of town was a small shop that baked bread every morning Monday to Friday.
It was the best bread Marc Love had ever had in the United States. He had had better bread elsewhere in the world. But in the states this random shop was it.
