The Angry Vegan Couple
The Big Mac wrapper
Today’s random word is delusional.
The twist: A drabble and a half. (150 words).
So there I was, casually looking through my bedroom blinds, when the vegan couple next door started going at it. They were furiously pointing at something in the back seat of their Prius. I squinted, trying to make out the cause of the chaos — and then I saw it.
My Big Mac wrapper!
I must’ve tossed it there by accident the other night. Who knew lettuce and anger could pair so well?
The guy, Greg, was waving his arms like a malfunctioning windmill. “You know, this is exactly what’s wrong with society, Karen! Meat! It’s a delusional mindset!”
Equally enraged but more methodical, Karen fished out the wrapper with disgust, holding it like it was radioactive.
I backed away from my blinds, thinking maybe this was a good time to start recycling—or at least aim better next time.
Lesson learned: keep your wrappers close and your neighbors on quinoa.
