Friday Flash – Benny Checks In
Benny Checks In
Benny gripped the stolen handbag and got in the queue. He’d got the itch, got it bad. He couldn’t bear it. He went back down the alley.
It wasn’t fair. He’d sweated for that bag, he’d done the legwork, he’d taken the risks. It was his bag.
Swap it for a measly wrap? He had a better idea. He’d sell the plastic, the phone. A bag like that had to be worth something. He’d work hard, get clean…
That itch, cockroaches in his belly. He had it bad. Shaking and shuffling, Benny got back in the queue.
