A Two Act Play of Terror

Part One:

*ring*
Phone: "Acton House of Pizza."
Sqrl: "I'd like to place a delivery order?"
Phone: "Where."
Sqrl: "*blahaddress* Apt. I?"
Phone: "Apartment nine?"
Sqrl: "I. The letter."
Phone: "Yeah, whatever. Whatcha want?"
Sqrl: "A Pizza Steak sub with mushrooms."
Phone: "Uh-huh."
Sqrl: "...uh, and how much does that come to?"
Phone: "Don't ask me, you're the one with the menu. Eleven, twelve dollars? Something."
Sqrl: "Uh... that seems a little high."
Phone: "Sure. See you around four."
Sqrl: "Four?"
Phone: "Yeah, the number four."

Act Two, in which the delivery man arrived with an order of deep fried mushrooms and a large cheese pizza, will not be recounted here. Also not recounted here is Act Zero, in which a week before the wolf and I ordered a couple of burgers and they almost never actually arrived because the delivery man was sent to Apartment One. And then were cold, soggy, AND burnt.

I hereby wish to call doom and misfortune upon Acton House of Pizza. I DOOM THEM.

THE PUNISHMENT WILL GO ON FOREVER.

Thank you.

And they had such a cool name too. Action House of Pizza cunjures up images of pizza delivery boys running headlong down mineshafts being persued by spear-lobbing natives and an enormous boulder bearing down on them while heroic music plays, all jut to get your pizza to you in 30 minutes or less!

Guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes or less or we commit Seppuku
