People on the Subway: Pyro

Welcome to the 6th floor

Welcome to the 6th floor.

Today's contributors are: Ann, Sara, Billy and Scott.

Subject: People on the Subway: The Pyro


I saw a pyromaniac on the subway today.”

They have a word for those guys, they're called Terrorists.”


No, not a guy a with a bomb silly. It was just a kid..probably about 16. He was just burning this long thin string.”


Whatever keeps you occupied I guess. I'm convinced there is nothing strange that can't be made stranger by putting it in a subway car.”


Especially one headed to Brooklyn.”


So he just lit the string and watched it?”


Yeah. Pretty much. He was sorta making an effort to hide it to his side, but it was pretty obvious what he was doing, and it did create a faint odor.”


I love the smell of burning rope in the morning!”


Better than whatever mush Sara heated up this morning.”


Hey! Don't knock my mush!”


It smelled like...melted feet.”


Melted feet?! What the hell is that?”


Interesting to say the least.”


The pyro got off two stops later. Guess he just couldn't just sit for 10 minutes. I wonder what else he burned before he got home.”


Trash cans, tourists, empty Starbucks cups..”


Payphones.”


Probably doesn't have the attention span to find a payphone.”


Well, I'm sure we'll here from him again if he starts burning tourists.”


Probably.”

Homemade Cookies

Welcome to the 6th floor.

Today's contributors are: Sara, Tabitha, Frank and Scott.

Subject: Homemade Cookies


Mmm, something smells good! What are you baking Tabitha?”


What? I'm not baking, I'm just pouring myself a glass of pomegranate juice.”


So what's that delicious smell? Is someone baking?”


Nope. Oven's off. It's my new candle in the living room. It's called Sugar Cookie.”

You tease! Why would you buy a candle that smells like cookies? Now I want cookies!”


You could always make them yourself.” Sara pipes in from the living room.


I could make my famous slightly-charred chocolate chip cookies that leave that weird aftertaste. No one seems to ever like them though.”


What? Frank's baking? I'll call the fire department.” Scott says as he passes by.


Last time we couldn't even give away your cookies.”


They did make good paper-weights though.”


I'll make a deal with you. You go to the store and buy the ingredients, and I'll bake some cookies.”


The store? Why don't you call Billy, he gets off work soon right?”


Because Billy's not the one that wants cookies.”


Do you really think Billy doesn't want cookies?”


He does have a point about that. Billy's going to walk in here, smell the candle, and complain about the same think Frank just did.”


Quiet over there! Who's side are you on anyway?”


I think Sara wants cookies too!”

So do I!” Calls Scott from his room.


The candle really does smell so good!”


Fine! Call Billy if you want.”


Frank dials Billy, and after a moment, hangs up. “No answer. He must be in a tunnel or something.”


Well, then I guess you're going to have to actually venture outside today.”


Alright, but these cookies better be good.” Frank says as he exits.
