Berkshire Diner

Berkshire Heights, Massachusetts

Lindsey was at the Berkshire Diner. The clattering of silverware rung all over, and her nose was greeted by the intoxicating aroma of bacon, lentil soup, pancakes, and burgers. She was looking at the menu. Everything was moderately expensive. She only had ten bucks.

A dead alligator was lying on a table behind her. How he died, wasn't all that clear. Lindsey took no notice of the dead reptile. Unbeknownst to her, the alligator population was starting to grow all throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

A waitress with red hair, wearing shiny, black thigh high boots, was whistling as she came towards Lindsey. "You ready to order yet, babe?"

"I'll just have a cheeseburger, with chili cheese fries on the side, and a Coke, please," replied Lindsey.

"Alright," said the waitress. She took her menu, and also the dead alligator, before Lindsey could even discover him.
