Long Made Short
“He goes downtown and complains. “You don’t have it. How come, what’s wrong, why you holding it up?”
They say “What are you talking about?” He says “You say you don’t know? Maybe you really don’t know, maybe that’s why it’s being held up. If that’s the case, case closed.
I mean, if that’s the case, well, case closed. Meaning, well, if that’s the situation, that you haven’t got it because you don’t know what I’m talking about, then I shouldn’t bother about it anymore, wouldn’t you say, or... is that overstating the case?”
They slam the door on him. First they edge him out of the store. Then past the door into the street. Then they slam the door on him, lock it. He knows they locked it because he tries opening the door and the knob won’t turn all the way. The door’s made of glass, and he knocks on it. Raps, really, raps. The man and woman behind the door pull the shade down so he can’t see through the glass.MoreLess
