Free Chinese Food - Short Story

The alley was dim, but all the surfaces still somehow managed to shine as if they were wet. It hadn’t rained in weeks. Plopee stepped from the doorway into the alley. His shoe squished on the shinning street.

With each step the street sucked at this feet. Well that was an odd night, he thought. The sign in front of the building proclaiming “Free Chinese Food” was strange as it was. The fact the building didn’t even look like a Chinese restaurant was even stranger. But hey, who was he to pass up free Chinese food?

Well it turns out he didn’t get any. He wasn’t too surprised. As expensive as that stuff is, who would really give it away for free? Especially considering he was quite sure the chicken and vegetables must be imported from some other planet, at least based on how expensive it all was.

What he didn’t expect though was that strange beastie standing upright, covered in coarse dark fur and waving around an extra tentacle from its side to complement the other two arms. But what he really didn’t expect was for it to explode when he kissed it.

Sure, most people wouldn’t dream of getting close enough to kiss something like that much less actually kiss it, but his philosophy was when presented with an unusual situation, do something unusual. Under the circumstances that was the most unusual thing he could think of. It seems like this time it actually worked.

He wiped green goo from his arm. He was pretty sure he wasn’t going to get a second date though. Oh well.
