the Ginormous Juice stand page 1

the Ginormous Juice stand page 1 by ric gustafson


Mark Hested yawned as he set down the large cardboard box. He noticed that the grocery store did set up his table as he requested. He took off his blue parka and put it on the back of the plain aluminum chair. He yawned again as he opened the box. He took out a placard and put it on the front of the table. From out of the box, he took out several plastic juice cartons and set them up on the table. He yawned a third time as he sat down. He took a long sip of hot coffee and then began to wait.
A mother and young girl went by.
" Good morning". He smiled. " Care to try some Ginormous Juice?".
" No thanks". She hung onto her young daughter's hand as they quickly walked away.
Mark grinned as two young women approached the table.
" Good morning" he said as he pointed toward the plastic cartons. " Would you like to try some Ginormous Juice?".
" No thank you" Barbara Hemphill said as she began to walk away. " Missy come on".
Her friend began to walk away. " Sorry".
Mark smiled as they walked away.
" It will take away your aches and pains".
Missy Memphon stopped and turned around.
