Tailgate Entry

This is my contribution to the "choose your ending" entries HC over at Upset Waitress and I are doing. Upset Waitress is quite entertaining and well written...you should check it out.
The bold is the part that is the same on each blog, and what follows is my ending...


One Christmas eve on the fourth of July, while Santa Clause cooked spare ribs, my uncle Sam delivered presents to all the good little waiters and waitresses. Then we opened for business.


The alarm on the fryer would not stop. I pushed the button over and over and over…

I sat up in bed, droplets of sweat turned into little streams, turned into torrents. The alarm clock was making the noise, not the fryer. Santa dissipated along with the ribs and my uncle. I did not want to wake up.

Last night had been my first shift at the restaurant. My first shift at any restaurant.

I pulled the covers up way over my head. Please don’t make me go back.
