DAVID SYDNEY: Breakfast at Al’s Diner

“What’s the matter, Ed?”

Ed pointed with his spoon. “There’re two flies in my oatmeal.”

Mel checked Ed’s bowl.

“Nah, it’s just one… You separated the head and body… See, there’s its head… And there’s the body, still squirming.”

“Gee… Thanks, Mel. For a moment, I thought there were two.”

“What’re you doing, Ed?”

He motioned for quiet, crumpling a napkin. “This moth’s toast.”

The insect was on the kitchen table.

“Don’t kill it, Ed. It has a life too.”

Life? Too? His face twisted.

After he released it into their backyard, it was almost immediately eaten by a bird.
