Shots Of Silver
I've been making pies for 20 years, ever since I was a boy.

Maggie and me have our own little parlor in a good spot downtown.

We've been together for a long time now.
​I asked her to marry me a lot of times

but she always said things were fine the way they were.

One night, about 3 months ago, I was throwing some dough.
Hey, it's the only way to do it 
and I consider myself pretty good. 

Well anyways, I was tossing and I was about to finish one up.
I was putting it up there real high, 
like I do,
and all of a sudden, it just stayed there--
​just stayed there in the air, spinning.


It took me a couple of moments to realize what was happening.
​I thought, hey, I'm dreaming.


But no, I was awake. I got scared and ran to the back of the kitchen.
I stared at it. 
There it was, floating in the air.
I watched it for a minute and decided 
that I was going to get a closer look.

I screwed up my courage. I consider myself a brave guy, hey, I served--
and I walked slowly back to the prep counter.

​I gazed up and the dough slowly came back down.

Out of reflex, I lifted my hands and caught it.

I told Maggie. She thought I had fallen and hit my head or something,
but then it happened again about a week later and she saw it.
​I know it's got her worried.


These past few months, it's done it a couple of times a week.
The dough will float and spin for a minute, and then slowly come back down.

I'm not as scared now as I was.

It's funny.
Lately, business has been up, Maggie wants to get married

and I think our pies are even better than before.
​

But hey, they were always good.
