A Story In So Many Words (#4: 102) – “Meet Me”


When Bobo met Claire in a chat room, he used his usual screen name, Bobo4UGrrrl, which he thought was clever. Claire was the first grrrl to agree. (Neither frequented chat rooms much, though. It was just a phase!)
They arranged to meet in person. Claire wore her best big floppy shoes, red ball nose, and orange wig. She painted on a big smile, even though her own was broad enough. Soon she’d find, however, that she needed the painted-on smile. Because when Bobo entered the café, he wasn’t the clown his name suggested. He was a meat loaf. And she, a vegetarian.
