Friday Fictioneers

It was supposed to be a joke between us performers at the arcade. Jerry showed up and asked us to wear these costumes. Standing in a row we resembled a cartoon caterpillar. Then the show began and all of a sudden music came on and we tried to do the dance steps we were told to do. A funny feeling as our costumes were quickly stretched up by a huge colorful disk and our feet couldn’t touch the floor! As the disk rotated we were whirled around like a carnival ride. That’s the last time we take gigs from Jerry!
