3 Grapes

in #freewrite9 years ago

That's what I was looking for. It sounded so easy - just get three grapes. Julie said she only had to spin this machine for thirty minutes and she made fifteen thousand dollars - three grapes. I was getting bananas. Oranges. Elephants. Snakes. Monkeys. And only a couple of grapes. At first, I was so excited. I needed the money for Christmas presents for my boyfriends. They were all special, but they occupied so much of my time I couldn't get an extra job. I needed this money. I had my cross, my lucky rabbit's foot, my grandma's lucky broach with the purple feather from the kouffee bird, she told me she saw once.
My mind was starting to get dazed from watching the screen on the slot machine. My eyes were red and crossing. Everything suddenly stopped in front of me. My attention was cued in on the colorful machine showing me three grapes. My throat was too dry to scream, so I grabbed Julie, who was using the slot machine next to me and I pointed at my machine and started jumping up and down. She didn't seem to care. Actually, even the machine didn't seem to care, it wasn't lighting up and blinking or - anything.
I pointed at the screen and finally got out, "Three grapes!! I won!!" to Julie.
Julie shook her head at me and said, "No, you need to get three apes." The she started laughing.
Good thing boyfriend #2 has enough money to get me out on bail. It's expensive when you break a slot machine. And break your best friend's jaw.
