Luke's Diner, March 7 (Monday)

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

The very beginning of the workday passed without incident, which in Lacey's frequently-too-neurotic opinion was a rare enough occurrence that she was grateful for it. That state of affairs was short-lived, though, and doomed from the moment the busboy and the cook got into a heated debate about whether or not the optical illusion postcard on the bulletin board had distorted-looking squares, or non-distorted squiggly shapes.

"You're both wrong," Lacey said once she'd had it with both of them. "It's a camouflaged sabertoothed tiger, and it's coming to eat you both."

She didn't really care if they shut up because they thought she was weird, rather than because she'd successfully intimidated them, as long as they shut up.

She'd come to regret that by the point in the day where they were both standing in front of the board, staring at the postcard and thoroughly hypnotized.
