The One in the Back!
By Scholar

It was suede. Not to tattered, but not exactly new. It was in far better condition than the ripped black cow to its left. And far better than the faded tweed to its right. It carried that new car smell. You can see the zig zag imprints of children's shoes left on its right cushion. I leaned back. It was inviting. Not to hard, but not to soft. It was the perfect thing to plop down on with some popcorn and watch tv. I sink back even further. Close my eyes. I imagine all the places it's been. All the people who've sat here. The memories that were made. I imagine the memories I could make. I stick my hand down between the cushions and pull out a 5 dollar bill. I smile to myself and get up. I make my way to the register.

The man says "I saw you enjoying our sofas. Did you make a decision as to which one you want?"

"Yes" I say. "As a matter of fact I have.

I'll take the one in the back!"
