FREE Food by Kathy Thompson

It was early Saturday morning. A new grocery store was having a "Grand Opening" and offering FREE food. A line had started.

First in line was Henry Hyperson, an insurance salesman in his forties. Puffing a cigarette, he was nervously tapping his foot. His casual clothes just hung on his skinny frame. His breathing was short and quick. Impatiently, he was fidgeting his

cigarette from hand to hand.

Second in line was Carol Calmton, a physical education teacher in her thirties. Standing erect her hands were behind her. She had a confident smile on her peaceful serene face. Slim, she had an athletic figure. Her clothes showed good taste.

Third in line was Fanny Floppy, a housewife in her twenties. Yawning and sniffling, she had a cold. Her complexion was broken out with pimples

and blackheads. The heavy woman had a loud sneeze. She wiped her nose on her sleeve. Then she scratched her head through her curlers. Slouching she looked tired and bored. Her dress was too tight and her slip was showing. Billy, 5 and Susy 7, were hanging

on her slip.

The manager opened the door and announced the first three people in line won a FREE cart full of food.

Jumping up and down, Henry was ecstatic and emotional. He hugged the manager and wanted to run and tell his wife. But he would lose his place in line. Everyone had to calm him down. Carol

appreciated the opportunity and thanked the manager. Smiling, she was grateful and went in to fill her cart. She had a list in hand. Shrugging and yawning, Fanny didn't think it was a big deal. Scratching her rear end, she sniffled. Tired, she wondered in. Billy and Susy were all excited jumping up and down, and pulling their Mother to move faster.

In the meat section, Henry grabbed the

hamburger, pork chops, steak, sausage, bacon, spare ribs. In the frozen food section he took fish sticks, tater tots, pies, lasagna, ravioli, waffles, onion rings, pizza. He picked up sugar, rolls, muffins, danish. Then it was anchovies, olives, salt, pepper, pickles, mustard. Next he picked up canned peas and corn. In the dairy case he got processed cheese food, eggs, milk. After that he took, potato chips, snickers, beer, coffee, 5 cartons of cigarettes, coca cola, vodka, tacos, alka seltzer, sominex, anacin.
