Sammi at Weekend Writing Prompt is asking us to
write something original in exactly 38 words,
using the word “gregarious”. This is my response.

Look at that old skinflint!
Heโs always been the cheapest, nastiest SOB in town.
Now heโs all chipper, greeting people with friendly smiles.
Iโve been wondering where this sudden gregarious attitude is coming from.
Two words: employee discount!

I made the mistake of ordering a Little Caesar’s pizza located inside K-Mart (my grandson’s bright idea); I couldn’t get passed the first bite. Disgusting! ๐คข
