Was sent to buy donuts


Bouvre

Recommended Posts

Got to the shop and bought mine. Then a stranger offered to pay me five dollars to bring a donut to a construction worker named Hootie across the street, and to not disclose who purchased it for her. She attached a packaged pen and a folded note to the inside of the paper bag and handed it to me. She demanded I try not to let it fall in the hands of his boss, as though I'd be able to figure who was who. She also instructed me to leave a few minutes after her.

I did it, but only because I was sure it would either become a strange but exciting mystery with danger and intrigue in which I'd find myself helplessly tangled, or one task in a series of ongoing donut side quests.

It was neither, but I still got five bucks.

Sounds like you were a drug mule.

Those donuts are so fucking bomb they replaced my four addictions. Not necessary to tape drugs to the bag (the pen? The piece of paper?)

O.o what did the note say?!

Real answer I ain't going to snoop. That would require untaping the pen from the paper. My bet is she's a secret admirer? Or a mistress? Maybe his boss is her husband and would recognize her handwriting

i feel like this should be some sort of 1940's style gangster thing. 

'runnin' donuts'

'runnin' numbers (?)

*i'll show myself out, but not without first saying how intriguing. :)

I've seen how this plays out, Bouvre. That letter probably said, "We do it tonight." You totally delivered the secret murder signal to that woman's lover, and the boss/husband is dead now. *Shakes head in disgust* That delicious caffeine was bought with blood money.

It was a Monster, which is way more fitting for this story involving a woman way more eager to kill her husband than the hapless milquetoast Hootie, who believes she'll share the fortune with him. Unfortunately he botched the job. And as he feverishly hurries to clean his trail, he has no idea the woman is setting up his demise. It's Body Heat meets Double Indemnity

do you know what this reminds me of?  people that expect everyone to be fucking nice...  like some asshole trying to save 35 cents on his Tide pods

that cant find his coupon and has been driving into your ear with corny cashier-small talk for ten minutes, and screams, "HEY FUCK YOU BUDDY!" when

you finally tell him to get out of the way hes tying up the line.  these asshats just expect everyone to be nice and not notice theyre as human as everyone else.

 

i think it would have been funny if you told him to go to hell.

Man, if they're paying 5 dollars for a 1 minute walking delivery job that isnt out of the way, I feel somebody would have to be a moron to turn it down.
