scratched lottery ticket

bukiiii
i hit the no sale key. the metal drawer shot out and hit me in the belt. it rang like a dropped hubcap. there was nothing inside except a bent paperclip and some grey dust. across Figueroa the butcher shop is a pilates studio now. some guy walked past holding a tiny dog. i pushed the drawer shut. a fly landed on the glass counter. it crawled over a scratched lottery ticket.
