Deep Dish

Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask where I could find a restroom, Elisabeth suddenly announced: “Oh my gosh, I haven’t been here in ages. I can’t believe Johnny kept the place! That is, if he’s still here.”

We stood in front of what looked to be a dilapidated pizza joint. The sign was missing some letters and the paint on the door was cracked and covered in fading graffiti. It had definitely seen better days. Only the OPEN sign in the window looked new, its letters a bright neon blue. Sure enough, most of the tables inside were full, despite the fact that it was 12:30 AM. And if it was open, then maybe it had a bathroom inside that I could use…

“Are you hungry?” I asked, hoping she would say yes.

“Yeah, sure. I’m always down for some pizza. They make the best deep dish. Takes a while, but it’s totally worth it.”

Once inside, the hostess cheerily told us to sit down wherever we wanted. I quickly excused myself to find the bathroom. As I sprinted away, I could hear her asking for Johnny.

    Aww, it ends here! Now I have to pout and wait for a sequel. This series is really nice; who’s John? Ah, I must stop myself…I’m getting ideas. :)
