Lester, the Homeless Man, at Starbucks

A Story by Chopstix
"

The title says it all.

"
Cappuccino, computer and a Starbucks table. Props placed, Lester succumbs to fatigue. 

“Hey you,” a yuppie bangs Lester's table. “Paying customers sit here.”

Lester taps his cappuccino cup.

“It's cold, you bum.”

Lester packs his things.

“Spare a buck?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Watch my things?”

“Five minutes.”

Lester returns reclaiming his table with his hot refill.
