FANTASY By dee_ayy John entered the day room and dropped himself into an empty chair in front of the television. He watched for a minute. "Man, Chet, will you look at her? She's incredible!!" "I know," Chet sighed. "How come I never meet any chicks that good looking?" "You?" Chet asked incredulously. "Yeah, me! Why not? But I never even see anyone that gorgeous." "That's because they're all on TV," Roy submitted matter-of-factly as he passed by on his way to the fridge. Johnny shot his partner a dirty look. "They are not all on TV," he retorted. Roy didn't answer, opting instead to take his apple and retreat to the safety of the dorm. "I mean it, Chet, where are all the girls like that? Look at her. She's beautiful, smart, funny." "In other words, she's out of your league, Gage." "Shut up, Chet." "Seriously, Johnny, you're right. She's beautiful, smart, funny. In other words, she's not real." "What do you mean she's not real? There she is. She's real!" "Nah, she's a fantasy, that's all. Nothing but a fantasy." Chet settled into his chair and fixed his longing gaze on the woman. "But there's nothing wrong with that." "No, guess not." |
