Turtle & Canary, Thursday
Mike was dressed as an old fart for Halloween -- that is to say, he wasn't wearing a costume and screw you if you thought he needed one. Apu was dressed as a store clerk. It all worked out.
The candy rain had completely thrown him, though. He must have stood under the store's awning for at least a half hour, just staring up at the clouds and trying to see where the candy was coming from. Apu tried to tell him that this sort of thing was normal for the island, but... well. There was no substitute for seeing it firsthand.
When it stopped being novel, he turned around and went back inside. Just inside the door, big and prominent, was the display of all of their leftover Halloween candy. He and Apu had spent several hours last night moving the unsold candy out of the seasonal aisle and onto this cardboard display case in order to make room for the Christmas stuff, and now it seemed a little pointless. "Well, that isn't gonna sell."
There was still a "HELP WANTED" sign in the window, but that seemed a little pointless, too.
Today's Squishy flavors: Pumpkin Spice, Candy Apple, Red
