Friday Flash 55: Snow Rumor in the South

It's time for another Friday Flash 55 (a story in exactly 55 words), which I'm growing to love. Thank you, Mr. Knowitall! Here's today's:

Antone flung his apron onto the counter, "That's it!"

Lance retrieved it and held it out to him as Antone fumbled for his keys, "It's gonna be fine, man. Your apartment is a block away and it hasn't even started falling yet."

"Pfft," said Antone, "I'm outta here."

His customers sat, waiting for their salads.
