I think I just met the happiest person in the world! And not your average kind of happy Charlie either. He danced past me in a sun hat and paused when he saw me holding that crumpled umbrella. “You aren’t you when you’re hungry,” he said and tossed something right at my face. It stung as it bounced off my nose. A butterscotch landed on the ground.

“Hey beat it old man.” I said to him, waving the umbrella like a club.

He just looked at me, big stupid grin stretched across his face. It made me nervous to look for too long.
