IN BETWEEN THE LINES

“Do you have any idea when it will end” she asked

“No but I know it is around the corner” he said

A hearty chuckle and then silence.

“Strange na! That you have to go thru this shit”

“Hmmm I was about to tell you the same”

A hearty chuckle and then silence

“I never realized things would go out of hand”

“Well come to think it was never in our hands”

A hearty chuckle and then silence

“I am sorry but I think you are not allowed to stay here anymore” said a voice

“Its okay, we were about to finish” said he

“Okay better be quick or else I will have to muscle you out”

The door closed shut and it again just him and her

“You know what, I feel sick”

“Just stay calm, this aint gonna be that tough”

A hearty chuckle and then silence

“What will you miss the most man”

“Donno, I have started the loss assessment survey for this venture”

A hearty chuckle and then silence

“Hey you better cos I think I am having enough of this venture”

“Oh come on! Don’t give me the creeps. I am about to end this sickening venture”

A phone rings.

“Hi man! How ya doing” said he

“Yeah she is fine besides she is asking me to contact a loss surveryor. You interested?”

A hearty chuckle and then silence

A few more lines, a few more chuckles and then the phone call ends.

“Hey man can chance that you get me some fries and a burger. The food here sucks”

“Lemme see what I can. Do go anywhere folks”

The door close again and this time it is all her and herself.

“I would like large fires and a grilled chicken burger with extra cheese”

“That will be 85 sir”

A swap of cash for a bill and food bag. He returns

The door opens. He hold his food bag with great pride

A hearty chuckle and then silence

“Thanks but you can keep it man”

“Why do you say that, I hate extra cheese with out a beer”

A long beep on the ECG and then silence.
