Scene at the Mall

by Bill Schott

Pons and Ned meet on the escalator at the local mall. There are only a few shoppers in the enire building. Pons:  Hi, Ned! Ned:  Hey, Pons!  Fancy meetin' you here. Pons: This place looks like a ghost town. There aren't more than a few dozen people here. Ned: I heerd folks was shoppin' at the new Amazone place. Don't know where they built it, but I guess they're in a line there all day and night. Pons: You mean, on line. Ned: Sure, Pons. Or they might be sittin' down. Pons: Sitting at home, you mean. Ned: People're livin' there now?! Pons:  No, Ned. Amazon is a warehouse. Ned: Right. So where's the house? Pons: What I'm saying is that people are doing more purchasing at home and not the mall. Ned:  Oh yeh, sure.  Ma used ta have me buyin' stuff at home too. She'd buy a bag a bubble gum and sell it to me fer a penny a piece. Pons:  Really? Ned:  Great deal, huh? Pons: Anyway, Ned, the era of people flocking to brick and mortar stores is over. Ned: I ain't never seen a brick store here anyway. That's sounds like it woulda bin a fun place ta buy a brick er two.  Can't say I'd depreciate bein' the mailman what had ta deliver a passel a bricks ta somebody. Pons: Well -- I -- Ned: Great grandpappy used ta shoot them mortars in the World War 'eye'. Pons: That's one, Ned. Ned: Sure they won. He said it was a great war. Pons: THE Great War.  The war to end all wars. Ned: I s'pose it entertained folks back then. I think that's when they invented mustard. Pons:  Mustard gas, Ned. Ned:  Thanks fer the warnin', Pons.   Write A Review Image from Google. Pays one point and 2 member cents. You need to login or register to write reviews. It's quick!
