Blow This Popsicle Stand Novels & Stories

A graveyard bordered by brown plastic fencing, replete with rectangular gravestones. He reached out. Touched a gravestone with his fingertip, wiggling it. Firm and secure, inserted into the foam base, glued down into the foam. Sound practice, what he did with all his trees and telephone poles and street signs. Based on their width and size and texture, he guessed he’d snipped off Popsicle sticks and painted them. They could be purchased in bulk at hobby stores anywhere. He had a box. There it was, open on his workbench.

he said, a smile pulling at his mouth. I smiled at him. "I'm happy you're happy, Atty." He kissed me again. Softly this time. "I'm so happy, little sister." "Good." I cuddled into his arms for a moment. Graysten cleared his throat. "Are we ready?" Everyone answered in the affirmative. "Good. Then let's blow this popsicle stand," he said with a huge smile. He snapped his fingers. Everything went black. ** "What the fuck, bro?" Asher called from somewhere beside me.

In this case, I worked with the maintenance department at the local mall. One week, the mall had this arts and crafts promotion. Numerous vendors set up kiosks all about the center portion of the mall. One of the vendors was this guy named Robert who made little glass figurines out of Pyrex with a blowtorch. I found myself interested not only in the artwork, but also the fact that the guy told me that he was pulling down good money.

I admit and he kisses my lips. "Good. I am glad I can make you smile. Let's get out there before they start without us," Stanley says and we leave our room hand in hand. When we step outside I gasp. The front yard has been transformed. In the middle of our circle drive is a massive white tent open toward the front door. There are two pacifier pinatas, two tables full of pink and blue snacks, and balloons everywhere. Speakers are playing fun music and the guys have a game of cornhole going.

He was happy, free to be a man as he wanted to be. “Frostilicious!” Rebecca shouted in delight. He turned. There was a little stand just by the corner with FROSTLICIOUS! FROST LICKED ICE CREAM designed in fancy ink writing all over the stand. A young boy of about fourteen stood behind the stand with a barefaced smile on his face. “I want one," she said. “I’d tell Tony when I see him.” Rebecca glared at him, forgetting her smile for a while. “And I thought you were a gentleman.”

I say to Zane, and he looks at me, one brow raised. “People have redeemable traits, but not Mindy. Would you believe I tried to change her? But she ended up doing that to me, so please, I’ll sit this one out,” he says. I’m about to speak when he tightens his grip on me, pointing at a stand across the road. It’s a green bamboo stand, with a man wearing a pink flowery shirt and a bamboo straw hat. “We should get a drink from that stand. The coconuts are fresh,” he says, and I nod.

The grill lines stretched long, and the tables groaned under potluck that could feed an army, and that's exactly what it did. Storm stood in the middle of it all like a pint-sized dignitary, moonstone at his throat flashing whenever he clapped. He toddled to the carousel, put both hands on the bright blue horse, and announced “Mine,” which earned him several slow, dignified laps on his pony. Blaze stood next to him, while he smiled at anyone who waved at him; those dimples and chubby cheeks won over everyone. After the carousel slowed to a stop, he ran to the popcorn stand, waited for his turn, and received a huge bucket with extra butter.

The weather seems so perfect, especially the sun slowly setting and casting an orange tint in the sky. It’s so beautiful. A luxury I now realize I had been missing on for weeks. “Wanna get some ice scream?” He says suddenly. I look at him now and where he’s pointing to. An ice scream stand just about closing with various flavored sample displayed. It’s a very tempting offer and it’s weird just how a nice cool refreshment is just conveniently available when we need it. We go closer and get some of course. Who would miss out on ice cream willingly? I get the chocolate and Silas, strawberry with sprinkles.

Due to the presence of the iron chips, the speed of melting became faster. Soon, the popsicle had already melted. He was already 70% done. The middle part had become very thin. Seeing this scene, Garcia directly used the blood-dripping bone of his hand to grab it. Crack! The popsicle broke, and the key was already in Garcia’s hand. “I did it, I did it! I did it!” Garcia was a little surprised, but when he looked at the countdown, the surprise instantly turned into fear. “Six, five, four…”

Spade stopped in front of a park just a few blocks away from the restaurant they just had dinner, the city was still busy and people were walking up and down the streets, even the park wasn't completely empty, there were a few ice cream and hotdog stands in the park.
