Letโs Have Another Bullet Point Story, Courtesy of a Friend
So I have a friend that used to be in the tumblers troupe at the renfaire as a contortionist
We were chatting online and she told me to tell you all this story.
I love Kat dearly
but she forgets that sheโs stupid strong and hypermobile
so one day she throws her back out
bad enough that she needed painkillers and couldnโt stand upright
โBut also I needed Tampons and like. ย A Burrito, real bad.โ
sheโs flat on her back in her apartment when she decides this
and, in an
impeccable
leap of reasoning, decides
โI canโt roll my back forward to sit/stand up like normal.
But I can ARCH my back just fine.
SOย
Iโm going to do that and get on my hands and feet in a stomach-in-the-air this-shit-belongs-in-a-horror-movie-type pose,
And amble on down to the 7-11โ
โAnd get me that Burritoโ
It is,ย
for context,ย
after midnight in July during a wildfire so itโs hot as satanโs own asshole and the moon is red and shitโs already generally cursed.
Imagineyou are some poor sap working nights at the worldโs deadest 7-11, and you hear the door jangle but you donโt see anyoneโs head over the counters.
Whatever.
Except you keep hearing noises like thereโs someone in the next aisle over.ย ย
Fucking around in the burrito section
Itโs also worth mentioning that Kat
1. sings whatever earworm is currently running through her head when sheโs not paying attention
2. sounds EXACTLY like some kind of creepy child from a horror movie when doing so
tonightโs song is something from veggietales.
DUDE ACTUALLY STANDS HIS GROUND
and/or is really fucking high and isnโt sure if heโs tripping balls or notanyway
Kat goes up to pay for her burrito and tampons
She realizes the counter presents something of a challenge, and then demonstrates for me on her kitchen table at 4AM during a different july wildfire,ย
exactlyย
how she used the shelves to climb up the counterย
like one of the boston robotics beasties
dude stares at her for like, five minutes and says.
โRegisterโs broke.โ
โOh No!โ Says Kat. โJust Take โem.โ โReally? ย I can leave cash-you donโt have to give me change I donโt want you to get in trouble with your manager.โ โโฆNah.โ โOh! ย OK! ย Thank you!โ โYeah ok bye.โ
Shortly after she arrived back at the apartment, she got a text on her phone from the campus security about ย "A Suspicious Individualโ at tle 7-11.ย
It took herย
FOUR
FUCKINGย
YEARS
ย to realize she was the suspicious individual
every time this crosses my dash, all i can think is โiโd love to hear this from the perspective of the cashier who encountered some sort of demon buying a burrito on the night shiftโ
