black and white - a drabble of 100 words

The man in the sparkly pajamas sits at the small iron table on the terrace outside the deli, reading a newspaper. Young girl arrives at store only to discover she has eaten her own shoe. He sips the coffee he bought from the deli. The deli does not sell coffee and the young woman has told him this too many times to count. This morning she sold him the latte (skim milk, two sugars) she had bought for herself at the cafe down the street. The styrofoam cup matches the letters on his sweatshirt.

Man wears parrot hat.
