Chapter 23 of Velma the Vegan Vampire continues from yesterday:

Mick pulled the van into the Cook Street car park and was glad to see they were the first to arrive.

“Good. We can have the corner pitch,” he told his brother. “This one, facing the entrance.”

“Are you sure?” Mack didn’t like to break the rules. “Don’t the regulars have set stalls?”

“No,” Mick assured him, “the guy on the phone told me, it’s first come first served. Come on.”

He parked next to his chosen stall, climbed out and opened the back of the van. Mack joined him and the first thing they did was set up their display fridges and filled one with pork sausages, chops, roasting joints and bacon. They crammed the other with glass jars of home-made paté and trays of sliced brawn. Then they put up their signage and stood back to admire their work.

“Not bad if I do say so myself,” Mick smiled. “Maybe we should do this full time – a new business.”

Mack shook his head. “I knew you’d do this. What do we need a new business for? This is just a hobby, remember? Learning new skills, trying new experiences – remember?”

Mick took no notice. Mack was always like this. He had no vision. It was pretty cold, now that he’d finished the heavy lifting, so he put his hat and scarf back on. According to the weather forecast it was going to be a nice day today. Mild for November anyway. But of course it was bound to be cold in the dark. He grabbed his phone from the van and sat down behind the stall to continue reading Blane Smegson’s Butchery and Pork Cookery. Mack sat down next to him wrapped in a wool blanket, put in his earpiece and listened to his radio.

“Morning,” said Velma, “you’re here early.”

Come back tomorrow as chapter 23 continues, unless you’d rather read it now 😀
