It's a pleasant day, really. Warm but not too warm, bit of a breeze, no rain. But there's a scent to the air - ozone? petrichor? something - unfamiliar. You're probably just dehydrated. They're out of your kiwi-strawberry water at the Kwik Mart. You grab a peach water instead. At lunch you stop by the walk-up burger joint where the menu hasn't changed an iota since the 1950s. Burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes. You notice the shake flavors are chocolate, vanilla... and peach. "Whadja do with your strawberry shakes?" you ask the counter jockey. He looks genuinely puzzled. "What's a strawberry?" he asks. #microfiction
