“Good evening, Mind Blowing Mushroom, carryout or delivery?”
“You’re doing this?” Brennan asked.
Sara held the phone against her chest and whispered. “Yes, I don’t believe the hype about this place.” She gave the man their address and ordered one large mushroom pizza.
“Do you want the special blend of four-twenty-spices?” The man asked.
“Indeed.” She replied.
“There in thirty minutes or the next trip’s on us.” He laughed.
Brennan paced the floors until he heard a knock at the door. He paid the driver and brought the pizza to the table. “I swear he winked at me and…. I could hear it!” Sara giggled at her boyfriend’s silliness.
“The first piece is yours.” Brennan waited for her to dig in.
“Dang it, a mushroom fell.” She bent down to find the lost vegetable or fungus, whichever.
“Get up!” Brennan yelled. Sara, sprawled out on the carpet, began snoring loudly. He rocked her body back and forth trying to arouse her but with no luck.
~Time went by~
“What the heck!” He took a slice and munched on it.
~More time went by~
Brennan fell from the sky into a forest filled with the greenest of trees and little mushroom houses, a peaceful haze covered the land. “Where are we?”
Sara danced across a wooden bridge woven into the grove. “The sign over there reads WELCOME TO EUPHORIA.” She pointed. “Come on.” The two held hands as they spun around like little children.
“You can’t stay here forever.” A voice spoke from the clouds, neither heard it.
~Even more time went by~
Back at home, the kitchen spotless, no sign of their dinner. Sara suggested they place another order.
“Bad idea!” Brennan said. Sara begged, he agreed and went to get his money.
“Sara, have you seen my wallet?”
~Silence~
