The Up Escalator

"I really like to savour a painting that's mysterious like this one. The expanse of white speaks of barrenness, bloodlessness..." Sebastian mused before he was assaulted by the smell of chips and barged by a ruffian.

"Oy!" the guard shouted. "You can't have ketchup here!"

Too late.

Savour that, Sebastian.


Exactly 50 words.

This is an entry for Mikeydred's unofficial challenge which you can read about here:

It is also my 1000th published story on Vocal. It seemed apt to publish a short piece. It has my humour and it's pithy and I like the way I've rounded it off.
