Detailed Lunch Heist

Jimmy always brought tater tots to school. Worse, he flaunted them.

That made him a target.

Ryan drew the plans up, Kevin swiped the locker keys, Megan played the decoy, and Aiden prepped the route to the hideout.

But Brandon forgot to bring the ketchup, so they tattled on him.

Bourbon For Breakfast

He’d killed his first outlaw after drinking bourbon for breakfast; it had become part of his routine.

For similar reasons, he drank saké for supper and lemonade for lunch, though he didn’t much advertise the latter.

One time he swallowed mud at midnight, so he let the train robbers go.

“You know what’s so great about lunch?”

“Yeah! It’s spelled like ‘launch’ but without the A!”

“That is great, but what’s even greater is that it’s like the contents of the sandwich, and breakfast and supper are the bread! That’s why lunch tastes the best!”

“I hate sandwiches!”

“Me too!”
