Woody says look at em. He points to the Guess-the-Weight game.
I says they’s just people.
No, says Woody. They’s suckers. Why they stand in line for that nonsense?
Well, I says. It’s something to do.
You’re saying they got so much free time they got to fill it with trash.
Don’t know, I says. They look happy to me.
Woody gets mad and he won’t give me no more cigarettes, so I walk off across the Midway.
Carsons moved Woody to the ring toss last week and he can’t work his old hustles no more. That’s why he’s mad.
No one’s written it yet, but this one sort of reminds me that every year, some teenage girl falls for a guy working at the Carny and runs off with him…temporarily.
Nice twist at the end, Randy, and I liked the voice of your narrator.
Really good voice for this story. Realistic.
Great voice.
Loved this one
Loved the voice. Unique take.
I like your writing style and voice, as so many above have mentioned. Both entertaining and realistic.
Well done.
Realistic story. I remember leaving my wallet at home and carrying cash in my front pocket.
I loved the ‘voice’ in this story – so realistic and interesting!
