Big Joe's A-Comin' (5/5)
The giant man grabbed the beer from Stan and quickly drank it down. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, threw a coin on the bar and then turned and started back for the door.
Is that it? Stan thought.
"Don't you want another beer?" he asked meekly.
The man turned as he got to the saloon doors.
"No time! Haven't you heard? Big Joe's a-comin'!"
Stan's eyes widened.
Oh well. I suppose it's all about perspective. One man's giant is another man's dwarf.
Join us next time when we find another window and see what's happening...behind the pane.

Thanks, Neville. Yeah, something reminded me of an old story I heard. Same premise except it was a guy being paid to stay in a haunted house overnight.

He was paid to stay in a house to prove it wasn't haunted. At every hour some weird creature would show up at the door and ask "Are you gonna be here when John gets here?" They got progressively bigger and scarier until finally at midnight the biggest, scariest one of all showed up and asked that same question. The guy replied, "Man, if you ain't John I'm outta here!"

Great read! All I’ve got to say is Stan’s the man. He’s a bigger man to stick around waiting for Joe. Imagine how lucrative his business will get when word gets around that Joe didn’t show.
