Glenn Gray is the MAN by Rey A. Gonzalez

Seriously. The Man.

I should have told him I like hookers. Let me tell you why.

So this guy, Glenn, sends me a story. It's about Butta. Weird, right? Yeah, I thought so, too. I looked at it, I liked it, and I told him so. Even posted it on the site.

But hold on. The story was cool, but that's not why Glenn Gray is The Man. There's more.

So Glenn and I shoot the shit for a few days. Dude puts me through Hell with fixing his story up and I have to take the two minutes out of my day that it took to correct a few things with it. TWO MINUTES! I have a woman who I could have pleasured for those two minutes. You might think I'm a chump for that, but trust me -- two minutes is all it takes.

He tells me thanks. I tell him no problem. He tells me he wants to show his appreciation. I tell him don't worry about it. He tells me he wants to know what I like. I tell him send me beer and smokes. I give him my address like a moron and spend the next week hunkered down in my house with loaded weapons all around me and a death stare on my face. I didn't even eat. I didn't even shower. A whole week.

Then the UPS guy knocks on my door and almost gets shot. Gives me a box, I sign a paper, and send his brown shorts wearing ass packing.

By then, I was ready for anything. The box was from Glenn alright. I wonder what it could be. Glenn is a strange name. Any Glen that I've ever known that added an extra N to his name was bad news. Seriously, I knew a Glenn once and he was a dick.

But I throw caution to the wind and slice the box open with a bayonet. And I damn near shat myself over what was inside......

A tall boy o' beer! COLD!
Not one, but TWO small bottles o' tequila! (Glenn probably noticed my last name...)
A pack of smokes!
A cigar! No shit! A fucking cigar!!

So here I am, smoking my smokes and drinking my drink. Posting stories for all to read. Glenn Gray is officially our Flash Fiction Offensive sponsor. He knows the power of vice over me.

I should have told him I liked hookers.

And that, my friends, is why Glenn Gray is The Man.
