Fiction on the Fly #2

James rolled down the window as his beat-up Ford sputtered to a stop beside the McDonald's drive-thru speaker.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, I'd like a sausage biscuit and a sweet tea."

"Okay, that's a egg and cheese biscuit and a small coke."

"No. I said a sausage biscuit and a sweet tea."

"Sorry. So, you've got a sausage biscuit and a large coffee., right?"

"No, a sweet tea."

"Mountain Dew?"

"Sweet tea."

"Small coffee, two creams?"

"Forget it!"

"Alright, that's thirty-seven fifty, drive around please. Oh, would you like an apple pie with that?"

James tried to speed away from the drive-thru, but his truck stalled. He walked away.
