Grouch & Doughnuts

A Story by RiffinTiff

Decided to write about a trip to the gas station for my regular doughnut fix.

Needing my regular fix of donuts, I stopped at the Radiant. The Krispy Kreme sign so bright and inviting.

"Grouchy?" I walk through the automatic sliding glass doors. I see an older woman, maybe mid 50's, cleaning the counter. Another one walks to the back.

"You know how I get when I don't take my medicine. I'm grouchy" The lady at the front counter mumbles "Grouchy alright" either to herself or to the other. I find myself smiling as I get to the doughnut stand.

"Gladis I'm leaving for the night"

I open the glass door and grab a bag.

"Ok hun, we'll see you Monday"

As I focus on the donuts, the harsh realization comes to me as to why I've been standing here for 10 minutes...out of chocolate covered, cream filled, Krispy Kreme donuts. Not possible! But maybe...at 1am...it probably is...
