“Dance with the Devil”By: Danny Pozo

Billy hid behind the green garbage bin, which had been filled with all the old burgers, fries and the rest of the rotten smelling trash. Billy wanted some extra cash on him, so he knew this would be the easiest way to come about it. He waited until the right car rolled up, it was still midday but around these parts crime was as common as a rain shower, then he noticed a young black man pulling up to the drive-thru menu in a new blue BMW 745. Billy had a little smirk on his face, “I got this fool.” Billy said to himself. He came out from behind the bin with a 22. Caliber in his hand, he crouched sneakily towards the passenger seat to not be seen by the driver. He gets up to the door and swings it open and closes it just as fast. “Give me all your fucking money or ill shoot the shit out of you!” The driver who must’ve been no older than 22 was in complete shock, not a peep came out of his mouth. “Did you hear me I said give me all your fucking money,” Billy said while holding the freshly polished silver gun in the young mans face. “Alright man don’t shoot, Ill give it to you.” The kid having his window down, had been overheard by the employee through the drive-thru speaker, she must have not been able to hear their conversation but was able to hear voices coming through. “Welcome to McDonalds can I take your order?” Billy saw this as another opportunity to have some more fun. “Get me a double burger with cheese.” “What?’ said the young man. “I said get me a freaking double burger with cheese, and I’m not joking.” “Can ummm I get a double burger.” “I said with cheese bitch.” “Sorry, I meant can I get a double burger with cheese.” “Ok sir drive up please.” They drive up to receive the food and after Billy received his food, he takes all of the young mans money. “I know where your from now, I saw your license if you tell anyone about this Ill find you and kill you.” Billy runs out the car and back home, but now about 400 dollars wealthier.
