That Strange Cry For Help
“Did you see that garden?!” “Did I?! Did you see the chick in white?!” “Bro, the one in white; that’s all I say.” Best friends Johnny and Marcus happily walked into the warm, dim lit bar they often visited after work and on weekends. “The hell are you two talking about?” Jennifer, a bartender and Johnny’s younger sister, sat drinking whiskey in a booth with her husband Frank. “We followed a rabbit down a hole.” Johnny said, hanging his jacket on the back of his chair before taking a seat, Marcus joining Jennifer and Frank In the booth. “Word? Then what…” “No! Drink.” Jennifer interrupted Frank, pouring drinks for her brother & friend. “If you guys are done following rabbits, are we ready for the fireworks tonight?” “Don’t you worry sis, Dad just needs to bring the secret box of fireworks he’s been collecting since January; otherwise, we’re pretty much set.” “What else Is missing Johnny?” Jennifer asked as she poured everyone another drink, knowing her brother was hiding something. “Nothing I just, I kind of wanna go back through that rabbit hole.” “Right?!” Marcus agreed with Johnny. “So, this whole rabbit hole business really happened?” “Oh indeed, suffice it to say we had a really good time.” Marcus drank from his cup. “Okay, so you want to go to another realm instead of the New Year’s Eve party our parents have been planning since last New Year. Is that what you’re saying?” Jennifer closed her eyes, rubbing her frontal lobes. “Just for a second! Have you ever seen a hookah smoking caterpillar? Cause we have and he was absolutely delightful.”
