It was Charlottes ex- husbands birthday today, and she wanted to start something big.
Charolette showed up at the store, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Charolette never goes to the store in the day. She always goes at night, when the store is about to close so the employees get angry.
"Well well, if it isn't Char-o-lette. How are you, you fine dime?"
She turned around and looked at the animal who was speaking to her. It was Philip.
"Philip, we talked about this," Charolette complained, "I thought we had an arrangement."
Every living person in the store was still staring and watching them, listening to every word. What were they talking about?
Philip followed Charolette as she walked around the store, throwing everything and anything she could find in her cart. She was beginning to get angry.
"Char, honey. Listen I really think we could have something-"
Charolette's perfect pale hand went swinging across Philips face. He stood there with his mouth wide open, and clutched his face.
"Philip, there's a reason we aren't together. First, you're whore wife is currently spending the rest of your money in the dress shop, and that means you can't afford me anymore."
Philips mouth opened even wider, and so did everyone else's.
"The second reason is that you smell. You just reek of fish eggs and whiskey and tears. We all know it."
Charolette smiled at the red-faced man and walked out of the store, not paying for anything.
"Miss!" A woman yelled after her. "You Forgot to pay!"
Charolette stopped waking down the street. "Excuse me?" She said as she turned to face the woman. "What is your name?"
"Uh, Its Helena, ma'am," the woman stated.
"Okay Helena, I'm going to ask you to do something for me. Actually, I'm not going to ask, I'm going to say."
Charolette leaned real close next to Helena.
"Comb your bloody hair. It looks like a clump of animal pubes."
Helena coughed, and then began to cry. She ran back into the store, and Charolette knew she had won again.
