Saturday Snippet: For He Certainly Didn't Have the Teeth to Chew It

Today's snippet is taken from 

Too Old for Christmas 

          Sean stopped by the Columbia Mercantile  in order to buy a bottle of whiskey, some dried beef for flavoring—for he certainly didn’t have the teeth to chew it—and a small sack of flour to have something to cook into a soft gruel for supper. He knew he would not feel like shopping after seeing Doc Massey, the dentist. Those supplies would be his daily menu until his gum started to heal. As much as he preferred the thought of pulling up a chair to warm himself by the glowing wood stove for an hour or more, he didn’t linger once he felt his clothes start to dry.

          Sean shrugged off Mr. Magendie, owner of the retail store, as the man sought to convince him to buy the newly arrived cast iron stove he had for sale. All Sean cared to focus on was buying the whiskey he planned to start consuming as soon as he stepped out the door so he could face getting his tooth pulled. Sean impatiently waved away the man and his polite sales chatter.

          Sean’s annoyance over his situation increased as he stood behind the woman talking to the clerk at the counter.

          Finish your business, woman, and move on. My patience be wearing thin.
