Todd

Todd lived in Delaware. It’s the first state. Todd worked in a pet store. It was his first job. Todd listened to a lot of Pink Floyd. Todd wore a denim jacket, all the time, even in the winter. It got to be a bit chilly. Todd drove a 74 Nova. It was his first car. Todd lived in his parents’ basement. He had a tv, a stereo, and lots of posters of the Philly Flyers. Todd went to the dentist every three months, like clockwork. Todd was happy.

Then Todd met Gretchen.

Todd now lives in Las Vegas. He tends bar, doing neat tricks with the bottles. Todd makes good tips, and is happier.

And that’s all there is. Sometimes, all you need is a little Gretchen to change your world.
