“Surprise me,” I said. “I trust you.”
He laughed, his eyes sparkling mischievously. “You really shouldn’t.”
“It all depends on what it is I trust you to do, doesn’t it?”
He went to mix me a drink, and I could swear the line up of alcohol had grown since the last time I’d noticed it. It was like a ticket line to see the latest teen heart throb in concert.
I smiled. They all wanted to be in
my drink. I guessed the bartender wouldn’t like it much if I started signing their breasts…
I watched the lucky liquids flow out of the bottlenecks. I thought back to my favorite childhood drink. The thing about ginger ale was that it was all brown and creamy colored, like a liquid carbonated caramel. But it really wasn’t like that… It was as if someone far too cheap had water it down before it left the factory (which was something I imagined to be Willy Wonka-esque, but with a lovely Candy Land like vibe to it), and its golden sugar look had been lost and dispersed beyond the point of recognition.
As I thought about ginger ale’s misfortune, it made me feel as if maybe I shouldn’t drink this. But then I thought of the liquor, how it had been so lucky to have been picked, how could I ruin its moment? The liquor, I decided, would be heartbroken if it didn’t find its way to my blood stream.
So I drank it.
That's just a little snippet of my story.

Yeah, this story is just like that. It's not done and it's kind of... Like that.
