Blueberry Inflation Story Novels & Stories

But it should do. "Uh, uh." The bastard said, giving me back my money. "This would get you only two wraps." My eyes widened. I wanted to yell at him. But instead, I took a deep breath and asked, "How? It wasn't this expensive last time." He shook his head as if he was pitying me. "Sorry, baby. Inflation." He raised his hands in the air. "But this is all I have," I said. God, this lunatic has no idea how hard it was to steal this stash of cash from Dad's study. He has no idea how hard it is for me. He thinks because of the name Vale, I have money sitting in my bathtub.

"They won't stop looking, honey. Not for a million dollars." "A million?" Elion asked. "That's what the news said. The reward went up." Elion dropped his bread. "It was a hundred thousand yesterday." "Inflation," Mrs. Higgins shrugged. "Or desperation. That blond man... he was on the news. Crying. Said he just wants to bring you home." "He's lying," Elion said. "I know. I've been married three times. I know a liar when I see one. He smiles with his mouth, not his eyes."

After waiting patiently, Evelyn returned with a small bag in her hand, placing it on the table before handing me a slip which I assumed to be the receipt. I looked at the slip. PURCHASED: APPLES- QUANTITY: ONE BAG- PRICE: $3.54 My eyes widened. Three dollars and fifty four cents for a freaking bag of apples. “Three dollars?" I asked. “Yeah, rumor has it that there's inflation in price due to the fake Bitcoins, but I don't think it's rumors.”. I groaned before raising my body to sit properly, leaning forward to grab the bag on the table. I handed it to her. “Can you wash them for me?”.

I say, grinning, "I'll throw in VIP access and backstage passes while I’m at it. And since you will see my wife naked, I'd have to increase the price. Inflation is no joke. My rent is due.” I doubt I'll share her again. But I'm just entertaining Sierra's Casanova. “Yeah right, someone who's close to becoming a trillionaire is talking about inflation and rent when he's the landlord of an entire estate he lives in. And don't bother lie to me, I know it was the first and last supper. You are too stingy to let another sharing is caring happen.” He replied. I was just about to answer him when my phone buzzed. I glance at the screen to see it's Grandmother.

“I—I’m sorry, Mr Lux!” And Papa leaned into his ears and growled, “I’m sorry for giving you the opportunity, my friend.” He palm-pressed on the man’s forehead and pain finally burst through in a yelp. “You used my name to market your products, Steve. Without me, you think you can get to where you are right now? And you still dare to talk to me about inflation.” The head lifted and slammed twice more, as Papa roared in fury. “I AM THE GODDAMN INFLATION!”

(Dahlia POV) Cheaper? How can it be cheaper? Which of the goods I bought that cheaper? There is suddenly an inflation in its price. Also, those sellers are unbelievable because they took the opportunity to increase their price, they have their own reason, or they thought my companion could provide to pay. I wanted to complain about his statement but I choose to remain silent. I waste some of my fortunes. Completely splurge the cash I withdraw. And I don’t have any idea if I left some amount on my account because I didn’t check my balance.

She stared straight back into her plate. "I knew the pair of you would still be eating," Quickly, Blue came to realize one thing was worse than facing Marian before twelve; Bradley Pierce. The name was often misleading. It was the name of a party-boy or the thirty-eight-year-old leader of a college fraternity with time spent so often getting wasted he was balls deep in student debt from all the times he'd had to repeat the course. It was strange, never had Blue met a man who was such a perfect image of Toby Flenderson in all regards.

I haven't told Blue about the fact that I was moving. I cleared my throat, “hey….” She turned to me, waiting for me to say something. “I have to tell you something.” “Like how you spent $60,000 on a shopping spree?” she asked. I shook my head to the answer, “where did you get that money?” she asked me but I couldn't respond to her. I just shrugged, “I have a huge savings.” She said nothing and it was obvious she did not believe the lie but she wasn't going to push it, “At least I was glad to see that Zoey got a smack of a lifetime. Did you see her face when that payment went through?”

I thought I was bothered at the rate at which inflation was taken over the country lately. The incessant increase in the prices of goods and services is affecting lifestyles. Goods and services were barely affordable and it was evident that London residents were battling hunger. The fortunate ones like families of the cabal and other well do to families were off the record. It was reported that the rampant cases of illness at the clinic were as a result of hunger. The revenue generated from my mother’s bar was not enough. With the inflation, everything seemed high and purchasing power was high. Our foodstuffs were inadequate, our light supply was cut off by the power holding company and our
