Hi! This is Monica,
I’m at the hospital with Don. They’re working on his leg now. He was shot in the Target parking lot when he and I went to meet a buyer for his old guitar and amp. Wait
Hahahahaha! I asked her to do my homework, in case they didn’t finish cleaning me up in time. Let me see…So I had a bad feeling about the whole deal from the start. This guy seemed pretty sketch. Sure enough, he shows up with muscle when we agreed not to engage in such tactics. Seeing the multiple silhouettes in the black SUV set me off. My mask went on, and I went to work. I head to the back of my car to grab the gear I was selling, and the gear that I wanted for insurance.
Walking slowly toward their vehicle, I see them exit the liquid-black monstrosity. I look around again to scan for others, adversaries, or witnesses. The lot was clear. The pavement was wet with night. I set my sight on them and move slowly, but purposefully forward. It felt like a 3lb ball peen hammer hit my upper right thigh when I heard the “pop”. My right foot slipped back and I looked down. The amp dropped from my right hand, and I let the cereal box cardboard sheathed machete slide from the sleeve of my leather. I looked up, and flicked the makeshift Cinnamon Toast Crunch sheath off to my left. “Next genius words from your mouth will be an apology…” I said.
Well holy smokes! The dude drops the gun! I thought he was gonna piss himself. As soon as the gun hit the pavement I followed up with, “I will make a puppet of your head, and make you say it…”, and I stepped forward.
Well wouldn’t you know it! The dude actually started sobbing, “I am so sorry!….I thought you were someone else! I swear!”
One thing leads to another, and it turns out he was looking for Francis! Francis the Acid Dick! Monica’s little Francis! He offers me $5K to shut up about the shooting thing…I dropped the guitar, swung the machete to point toward the amp on the ground, and said, “Sold.”
I took the money, and headed out to the hospital to get my leg checked out. Turns out….it was just a splinter! Thank God I had that idol in my pocket! Things would have gone much differently.
That’s it…I’m starting a Prog Stoner Doomish monstrosity of a band.
