Ep. 196: Once Bitten

Zo remembers that time when he spent time in Los Angeles back in the 80’s and he had the most peculiar experience. It was a nice hot day even though it was around Halloween, so he thought he’d stop for a delicious treat at a nearby ice cream truck that happened to be nearby. The operator of the truck was relaxing in the passenger seat with the door open just chillin’ out apparently. As Zo walked up to the chap he noticed how pale he was and that he wore all black clothes. Zo asked for an ice cream sandwich and the guy cheerfully got up and walked on over to the storage compartment at the side of the truck. He opened the compartment and handed over the sandwich and Zo handed over his change. Zo remarked on the older boy’s appearance; he appeared to be a high school senior, asking him if he was getting an early start for Halloween dressed as a vampire. The guy freaked out hissing and screamed “I’M NOT WEARING A COSTUME!” Zo walked away worried about the man’s mental health, but at least the ice cream was good.
