100 WORD SKITTLE // The Supermarket Algorithm

Shoebill was clacking her massive beak in Capybara’s face again.

“I. Said. One. Carton. қымыз. You. Are. Stupid. Mammal.”

She was always clacking in Morse code. You know, instead of communicating normally and just saying shit. Normally.

Anyway, Capybara was rather embarrassed now, like any man in the face of tough woman’s logic. Had he not followed her request, step for step? “Can you go down to the store for a carton of қымыз?” she’d clacked. “And if they have coconuts, get four.” So, what was the problem? The store had coconuts, so he’d gotten four cartons of қымыз.

Simple!
