All Ten Of Them
By Grant Baciocco
Edgar squinted his eyes and looked at his friends who stood in a semi-circle around him. A smile crept across his face. “How…how…” his words were slurred due to the amount of alcohol he and the rest of his friends had consumed. “How many of us are there?”
“You’d better count.” Glenn replied. His words just as slurred.
Edgar silently went around the circle, counting. “There’s…there’s nine.”
“You didn’t count you.” Glenn replied, laughing.
“Okay, okay, let’s all count together.” Edgar ordered.
Slowly, and carefully, all ten of them began counting at the top of their lungs.

By Grant Baciocco
“Well that is just absolutely insane.” Fumed Robert. “What were you doing when they pulled you over?”
“I wasn’t doing anything. The speed limit was 35, I was doing 30!” Roberta answered. “I know for a fact that I was going that fast because I looked at the speedometer when he flipped on the lights!”
Robert shook his head. “Well, I just don’t understand it. A $250 ticket for nothing!” Robert paced, wringing his hands together. The wooden floor echoing each step. “I know what I’ll do! I’m going to meet with that officer! Get to the bottom of this!”

Flour
By Grant Baciocco
So this was it. This is what happens when you piss off a bunch of bakers. Amanda had not meant to do it. She had merely said that the croissants were a little dry, that’s all. They were delicious. Extremely, so. But they were a little dry.
The bakers had begun yelling at her. Screaming about her ‘common palate.’ Saying she wouldn’t know fine food if it had been delivered to her from God. She’d left the bakery in tears.
That was a week ago. She was relieved when, two nights ago, the phone calls had stopped.
