Killing Me by Michelle Gagnon

“Here you go.” The kid slid the box across the count handed me a huge collector’s mug. “I gave you the SpongeBob one.”

I put a hand to my chest. “SpongeBob’s my favorite!”

“Mine too.” His face had gone so red it practically matched his polyester uniform.

I slid my carefully folded twenty across the counter, “I’ve only got a hundred, can you break it?”

“Um, sure. I got enough.” He was already pushing buttons on the register.

“So how long have you worked here?” I asked. “I haven’t seen you before.”

“Yeah, I just started a few weeks ago.”

“Lucky me.”
