Flash Fiction:
-Pizza Night- By Liza Villarreal
Annie and George were staying at grandma’s for the night, they loved it there she was the most pampering person and loved her grandkids. Nights at grandma were always fun, they could plan with toys, sleep with the dog, play camping on the patio and even use some of her clothes. That night the kids decided they were going to see movies and eat snacks all night long, and of course Grandma accepted. The three of them started the first movie, but Grandma was feeling tired and decided to go to sleep, leaving the kids enjoying the night and the bunch of snacks. As the night went on the kids got tired of eating chocolates, sandwiches and popcorns and of course, Fred had an idea.
George told Annie he had seen a T.V. Commercial of the new pizza restaurant in town, and that it was having a 24-hour delivery service. The kids got exited and started searching for the phone number on the many restaurant fliers that people ad left on Grandma’s house. “I got it!” Annie exclaimed, and gave George the number to make the order, he was a few years older than her and knew the address they where in. The kids made the order around nine p.m. and got money from Grandma’s purse, the pizza was supposed to arrive an hour after they order it. The restaurant was near the neighborhood but it was raining badly and the delivery guys where taking longer to deliver the orders.
Hours went by, another movie ended and the kids were getting desperate. George and Annie called and called the pizza station to claim that their order hadn’t arrived and the lady on the phone assured that the guy had all ready left with their pizza. The kids started to complain and arguing with the lady on the other side on the phone, it was already past midnight and they hadn’t received anything. The night went on and nothing arrived, finally the kids fall asleep.
The next day, early in the morning ambulances and police sirens started to sound around the block. The kids woke up asking what has happened and Grandma, told them she just received the notice that a pizza guy had had a severe accident, apparently last night, and unfortunately someone found him just hours early.
