the stranger who came to town page 4 by ric gustafson
Flora was pouring a cup of coffee when she noticed the stranger walk in. He sat down in a corner booth. She picked up a menu and took it to the table.
" Good morning". She handed him the greasy menu. " Can I get you something to drink?".
Homer stared at her through his dark sunglasses. " Yes, black coffee". When she left to get the coffee, he opened up the menu. Pancakes sounded good this morning. He quickly glanced around the small diner, for a Sunday morning there were not many patrons. He let out an evil chuckle. Probably there all at church.
" Here's your coffee". Flora poured him a cup and put down the coffeepot as well. " Anything on the menu look good?".
" I'll have the pancake short stack". He put the menu down. " And keep the black coffee coming". She left to put the order in.
Just then, Josh and Clarice walked in. They sat down at a table next to Homer's.
" Good morning Josh".
The young man quickly turned around. " Morning Mr Tang". He pointed at the young woman at the table. " You remember my friend Clarice".
" Of course".
