Much Ado About Chicken
This is for the Vocal "Micro Heist" Challenge: The Prompt Write a microfiction story about a heist in exactly 200 words.
He was gullible.
He had ended up in the back of police vans so many times because his associates told him about places that were easy to steal from. They gave him instructions and guffawed loudly when he got caught. They often watched his failures and when he told the police about what had happened they just denied everything.
A new chicken fast food shop had opened in town "Los Pollos Hermanos", chicken with a Mexican treatment, which was exotic for this town.
They told him that the chicken was stored just inside the back door which never got locked.
He took them at their word, not thinking of their past performance.
The back door was unlocked. There were polythene sacks filled with packs of chicken. He wondered why they weren't in a freezer.
He picked up two and was walking to the back door when he got tripped.
One bag split and two of the boxes exploded in clouds of white powder.
Tripper: "We got a thief, and he has wasted two of our packs, do I waste him?"
Gus Fring: "Yeah, then put him through the mincer"
This was his last attempted heist, this time it was fatal.

The Squeeze
β The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk β Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
