Skeeter and Balbo

A Short Story

Skeeter and Balbo sat cocooned in the ease of having known and tolerated each other for decades.

Skeeter took a swig of whatever sloshed around in his white 70's ceramic mug - the one with the bald cartoon Ziggy and the stale avocado-brown bubble letters that said:

“SUGAR - How Sweet It Is!”

Then, he said - “You realize you can have sex forever.”
