This is a short little piece of silliness just to get me back into writing. I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think.
"So what happened?"
"Well, you know I like to go for Sunday brunch."
"You had mentioned it."
"It's my favourite time of the week, a couple of hours of me time when I can sit down with a newspaper, eat nice food and drink lots of coffee."
"And?"
"Well last Sunday a pretty girl, wearing a short flowery skirt and a tank top, came in. I was so busy reading an article about the causes of the latest inflation spike that I hardly noticed."
"I bet she had long legs and a nice tan."
"She did actually. But as I said, I hardly noticed."
"Umm."
"Anyway, after a few minutes I heard some coughing and a rasping noise like someone struggling to breathe. As I looked up the young lady stood up, knocking all her breakfast stuff off the table onto the floor. Both her hands were around her throat, I think she was choking on a sausage."
"So did you go to help her?"
"Well no, not immediately."
"Why not, you're a medical professional?"
"I know, I know. But I was just getting to a good bit in the article about a recent decrease in the aggregate supply of goods, and besides, I was hoping someone else would intervene."
