I give to you a story in eleventy-one words...
Celia started singing Jingle Bells. After a few words, she and her family transformed the restaurant into a festive wonderland.
Ted, the restaurant’s manager approached with a stern expression; Andrew, the girl’s father, stood.
“You are bothering the customers.”
“But everyone’s singing. Don’t worry, we’ll tip well.” Andrew motioned to sit, but Ted grabbed his arm.
“Don’t touch me.”
“She needs to stop.”
“Or what?”
“You’ll get thrown out.”
“Try it.”
“Excuse me?”
Andrew turned. Ted grabbed him again. Andrew reflexively threw a punch that put him on the floor.
The song stopped. Everyone and everything, except Andrew, disappeared.
Gas hissed causing Andrew to collapse. “Prep him for the next trial.”
