Gestures, part 2
Oct. 20th, 2012 12:50 pmThe other day an older man arrived at the Floral kiosk minutes before I was supposed to get off work when I was already running late. I sucked it up and greeted him warmly. He wanted balloons. I blew up two balloon bouquets (12 balloons total), which took a while. Then he looked through the cards while I did the last few things and then I rung him up and left twenty minutes late.
But I wasn’t annoyed because he told me his story and I love stories. This guy was planning to celebrate his partner’s fiftieth birthday by bringing balloons and wearing full drag to the airport to greet his partner as he got off the plane from New Orleans. The card he picked had a high heeled shoe on the front and said fabulous was like perfect only more fun. I hope they both had a good time.

Masterlist
Deresla II was a beautiful planet and the first in the solar system to be colonized. Most of the rain on the inhabited islands occurred during the hot season, so they were always green and fertile. Six centuries ago, the colonization ships had landed and taken off again to get the second half of the colonists, but then a plague hit Galgaie XII. Planets were locked down and planetary governments were more worried about saving their citizens than about people who had moved away.
