《BurgerPunk: Pizza Time》5. What Time is it?

“Order up, bitch boy!” said BeBop into his portable communication device. Pomade was already almost back from his delivery. Pizza max always had to keep him on the grind.
“Ten four, sicko!” shouted Pomade, as he exited the off ramp and pulled into the bay of the parking lot. “Ko Konga, Rwanda. Let’s get this show on the road!” The drone was already waiting with the fresh pies. His ride got loaded up and he was out before he was even in.
Fuel pumped into the skies as he kicked back and let the audi-mati take this one. He popped up his InterTuber account and pulled up a recommended video as his car drove along at twenty miles per hour. A fat man appeared on screen after an introductory clip. He began to speak.
“Hey Bobbie Bobert Family! Remember to like and subscribe! You can buy this cool new merch shirt we just put up on our store, or you can provide a monthly donation to keep this channel going!” A picture of a skull appeared next to him.
“But now to todays topic. Have you looked outside recently? I have. There’s scum on the streets. Homeless immigrants wanting to steal your jobs. Wanting to take your opportunity away from you. Can you believe that? I know it’s hard to hear but its true. Facts don’t care about your feelings, bucko.”
Pomade got bored of this and skipped to the next video. It was of a woman wearing nothing but feathers with elongated features. Purple lights flashed on her face.
“Babies, have you ever felt the need to rage against the machine? Darling I always feel this way! But you may ask, ‘Gabby, you profit off the machine! How can you sit here any complain about it?’ Well in response I ask you this, how did we get our rights to adopt dogs after The King passed a bill to ban it? We used our cellphones and InterTuber! That’s how, babies. We use the tools at hand, even if they were created under this machine.”

Boring. He flipped to the next one.
“Have you ever thought about how cubes, are just rectangles, but less fat?”
Next.
“Kittens are part of the Druid Question, in this Fred Talk I will-”
Next.
“I will now repeat the phrase “It’s Pizza Time” one thousand times.”
Perfect.
“It’s pizza time.”
Pomade closed his eyes for a little bit. He had been working all day. He was tired.
“It’s pizza time.”
He didn’t look at the clouds above, but he heard a chirping. Droneo. About forty of em’. Flying in fast, way faster than he could go in this deadlock.
“It’s pizza time.”
He sat up fast. The next off ramp was four lanes over about half a mile up. He put his blinker on. Good thing he had filled up on blinker fluid recently.
“It’s pizza time.”
He flipped on his disrupter setup. Checked his map. He’d only be off by about ten minutes with the detour.
“It’s pizza time.”
The drones came closer, hovering a few yards above the parking lot of vehicles.
“It’s pizza time.”
Pomade clenched the steering wheel, one lane over. Two more to go. Fuck-a-roo.
“It’s pizza time.”
One more to go. The drones were just a few feet above him.
“It’s pizza time.”
He was over all the way. He sped forward and pulled down the exit. He looked behind him to see the drones collectively pick up an eco-friendly brand vehicle. Anything that ran off electricity for fuel wasn’t allowed on the freeway. What an idiot.
“It’s pizza time.”
He was able to exit and flipped a righty on the underpass. He was finally at the apartment complex for the drop up.
“It’s pizza time.”
“Your damn right it’s pizza time.” said Pomade, under his breath, nearly inaudible, to himself. He flipped the video off. The pizza boxes were a patchy dark brown. Good. “The oil is just right. C’mon, lets bro-on.” he said to himself, out loud, in the empty parking lot. Straight on up to the seven flights of foot poppers down on to the drop off. He knocked on the door. “Pizza delivery!”

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
