the night before last, just after 1 am, i sat on my couch. halfway through deal or no deal an unusual crash created an exciting amount of curiousity. there was a continuous sound of a car horn. shouting.

i opened my back door, suddenly realizing there had been a car accident. my initial thoughts were that someones deceased head was laying across the stearing wheel, and thus the horn. but when i opened the door i clearly saw five or six dudes frantically moving about a white pick up truck with a tree embedded in its engine.

the neighbor above me shouted, "unplug the battery!" that car horn was terrifically loud. no lifeless body sat in the drivers seat. who ever it was appeared to be with the other guys now trying desperately to push the truck from the tree. all of them now pushing on the mangled front end, pieces falling off to the ground, car horn loudly screaming into the night.

it was here that i was hoping a magnificent explosion would take place. like something out of the movies. flames. shockwave. bodies flung backwards, their flesh shredded and flaming.

but nothing happened. the police were there within two minutes. a firetruck arrived. and then the midget continually opened up the big money cases, effectively ruining her chance of walking away with anything more than $30,000. poor girl. she just wanted to help her kids get to college.

antclimactic. as per usual.
