Chaos and Peace

Chaos and Peace by ric Gustafson


Roland watched as shoppers ran by him. " Christmas shopping". He stared at them. " Bah Humbug". He noticed a mall security guard coming toward him. Then he noticed what was on his badge. " Your badge says that you are the guard of Chaos".
" I am" he replied as shoppers ran by him to get to the next store. " Today has been very chaotic around here".
" Why is that?".
" It's nice out and there is only two weeks before Christmas".
" Christmas" was his reply as he watched children running toward the toy store. " Bah Humbug".
The guard yawned. " I'm tired and my partner is downstairs helping Santa next to the Starbucks".
" The guard of Peace".
" Peace" Roland exclaimed loudly. " There is no peace in this world". He stared down below. " I have a notion to go down there and talk to this guard".
" I need to go" the guard replied as she looked at his watch. " The guard of Peace is just down the escalator next to Starbucks". He smiled. " Where Santa is".
" Santa, humbug".
