Inspired by: September 24: Flash Fiction Challenge
Archibald Portobello, acting CEO of DeCOM Enterprises, popped another cashew into his mouth as the turtle taxi lumbered slowly beneath him. He reached into his coat pocket to retrieve a buzzing cell and shouted to the cabbie before answering it.
“Can you pick up the pace! I have a board meeting at the Log in twenty minutes.”
He flipped open the phone.
“Talk. What? No! Sell! Now!” He slapped the phone shut. “Pfft, analysts.” Then to the turtle, “Can’t this thing go any faster?”
Archibald Portobello, acting CEO of DeCOM Enterprises, sighed and popped another cashew into his mouth.

Love this melding of natural and corporate worlds. Very imaginative and great use of opening and closing with snacking on cashews.

A nutty take on the prompt, inspired by mushrooms and the stress of Mondays. ?? Either way that was a fun, though turtley slow) trip.
