Taco TuesdayA Story by melindaerinwritesTaco
Tuesday was always my favorite. Always has been, or had been, until Mr.
Brain-Fetish came through town. After
the majority of us had died of “natural causes,” the mayor decided it was best
to ban all meat from the town. This, of course, broke the first and only rule
of Taco Tuesday: One shalt not have a meatless Taco Tuesday. It was
Billy who had the idea. God knows we had more than enough of them around. I
mean, they weren’t doing anything but wandering around and scaring folks " they
were pretty much vermin. So we thought, What the hell, why not? We
opened up the Crab Shack and had Taco Tuesday again, featuring the Mystery
Meat. Everyone loved it. Nobody could guess what the meat was, it was great. We
even had a lottery for people who wanted to guess and gain a little cash on the
side. The pot was still growing when Billy’s cousin noticed the distinct lack
of Moaners. He closed us down. It was Billy’s idea. That night, Billy’s cousin died of “natural causes.” The next day
was Taco Tuesday. © 2016 melindaerinwrites |
