"Here you go." I handed one of my partners
a pear. I had conquered it five minutes before
at morning market.
"How was this morning's run?"
"A few young ones were gone quick,
like normal. The bird was a bit later than usual,
so its got a head start. I saw one middler who just
got unlucky." I winked. I avoided apples.
Everyone went for apples. I liked pears more anyway.
"Bravo. Anything special?"
"Pulled a loaf and a beer, we'll split 'em."
"A month tomorrow, man."
"I know, little worried, I've heard when you're not it
for enough time, you run out of something you get
every time the bird picks you up."
"What happens then?"
"Dunno, scared to find out though."
