Fantasy A Walk Amongst Equals by TMaskedWriter

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean.
We love everybody, but we do as we please.
When the weather's fine, we go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea.
We're always happy, life's for livin', yeah, that's our philosophy."
-Mungo Jerry, "In The Summertime"

Troy and Julie Equals joined hands as they crossed the street; a habit born of a shared childhood that, now that they were sharing their lives completely, had grown into a reflex whereby they unconsciously sought out each other's hand before crossing.

They stopped at the entrance of the park. Julie produced a rolled-up reusable shopping bag from her purse and tucked it between the purse's handles for easy access.

"Big crowd today," Julie told her husband as she hoisted up the purse's strap higher on her shoulder, next to the strap of her purple sundress.

"Open air bazaar and flea market? Yeah, figured one or two people would show up. The same procedure as last year, Mistress?"

"The same procedure as every year, Master."

"The same procedure... as every year..." he muttered, opening his wallet and doing a quick count. "Ok, so buy whatever you think will help, but don't just give anyone money. Phone charge?"

Both produced their phones and checked the battery.

"Full." Julie said before putting hers away. Troy nodded and did the same. The two of them entered the park, kissed each other goodbye, and walked away in different directions.
