The Wanted Ad
Short Story
Ring, ring, ring.
“Hello.”
“Howdy.”
“Hi there, I’am calling about your wanted ad, I saw in the paper.”
“Oh yes Hi, I do currently have an ad in the classifieds at the moment.”
“Well… I’am very interested, it sounds wonderful.”
“I wasn’t expecting so many responses. This isn’t a joke is it…? You’re not prank calling me, just like the others are you?”
“No, I’m totally down. I’ve always thought about this kinda thing for years and once I read your ad something in me just clicked.”
“Okay so… You’ve thought it all through then?”
“Many times over. I’m fully on board.”
“As long as you’re sure. I do have a room all set up and It’s perfect for you.”
“Great..! I do have one small request before I fully commit though…”
“Sure you name it, I’m all ears. It’s your big day.”
“I kinda want to participate, you know play this whole thing out to the end.”
“Yeah, that sounds okay. I’ll have to tweak my plan a little, but I’m sure we can make it all work out.”
“Also, would you mind if we could do it on a Saturday?”
“Sure, Saturday works great for me. My schedule is basically wide open. Do you need some time, or are you looking to get it done in a hurry?”
“The quicker the better I think. It’ll prevent me from changing my mind.”
“Okay, how does this coming Saturday workROACH ADAMS
