mr. charm

I went into the Metamuville Grocery, and the hot young woman who works nights was there alone. "Eeeeev-ah!" I heard on the TV.

"Wall-E!" I said. She and I both professed our love for that movie, and eventually I asked if she’d seen "Up." Nope, she hadn’t. “Well, it’s playing right over in Blahboro…” I said.

There was nothing more to my sentence, but her sudden look of dread was palpable. Suddenly I felt compelled to tack on “So I’ll let you know how it was!”

I will never forget the look on her face. Kinda terrified.
