Put That Thing Down

Milk Wood



"Put that thing down now," the owner said.
That thing was the spycam, the evidence of foul play.
It was all over the news.
They found cameras in all the rooms. The hotel was closed and the police ripped every mirror and every lamp off the walls. They tossed the furniture aside. They emptied the drawers and shoved them onto the floor.
It was their job, they said.
"This will cost a fortune..."
Well, not really.
The manager held “that thing” up.
"They missed this one. And it has the footage of the cops destroying everything."
"Blessed be the taxpayer."
