KISSIN' DON'T LAST - robin white

There’s something ironic about the ad. Lookin’ for a good time? Call, it said. Nobody has ever had a good time responding to one of those ads. Nobody has ever had a good time placing one of them.

You’ll do whatever I like? I ask.

Sure thing.

A hundred and fifty dollars? I ask.

An extra twenty for kissing.

I thought about it.

A hundred and fifty it is.

Good thinkin’, Sugar. Kissin’ don’t last.

I hung up, and stepped out of the phone booth. It smelled of piss. What kind of a sicko used a phone booth, anyway?
