The
Dumper
One evening after a busy day at work
I started heading home in my Lamburgini. Just ahead of me I saw a
dump truck loaded with trash. As I got near the truck it started
slowing down by a quiet little pond filled with wildlife. When it
stopped the dump went up and the tail gate opened and all kinds of
trash and other waste fell out on to the ground and into the
water.
I stopped to watch and check out the
different varieties of trash that were spilled. On the ground I saw
old car batteries, oil cans, gas tanks and some barrels that had the
words "toxic chemicals" on them. When I got right beside the truck I
looked up at the driver so that I could identify him when I went to
the police. His face was very ugly with many wrinkles and his hair
appeared to be long, tangly, and very dirty.
As soon as he saw me he pulled out a
double barrel 12 gauge shotgun and fired at me once. He shot out the
passenger side window, and I stepped on the peddle not realizing it
was only in first gear. When I looked back in the mirror he was right
on my tail. Then all of a sudden he was pushing me off the road. So I
quickly turned back on the road and changed gears. When I got the car
into fourth gear I started to blow him away.
When I got back to town I went to the
police and told them about the incident. They all laughed because
they thought I was fooling. But when I brought out one of the
officers to look at my car he stopped his laughing. We went back in
and another officer showed me pictures of some suspects. When I
identified the man, they told me he was a serial killer and he had
also robbed a couple of banks. They said he was one of America's Most
Wanted because of his crimes. After finding out he was a professional
killer I decided to move back to Alaska.
While I was riding north to Alaska I
had a funny feeling I was being followed. When I looked in my rear
view mirror I saw the same dump truck I'd watched dump the garbage in
the pond. I figured he was tailing me and I started to speed up. When
we got to a tight turn the dump truck was so large he almost went off
the road. Then the road started to get rougher, and the next thing I
knew we were climbing a hill.
When I reached the top I waited for
the dump truck to appear. Then I positioned my car close to the edge
of a cliff. I almost fell over the edge but I used my new anti-lock
brake system to hold me in place. The truck stopped and the driver
looked at me with evil in his eyes. Then he started to speed up
towards me. Just when he got close enough I jammed the gears into
reverse and stepped on the peddle. He just nicked my bumper and ran
headlong over the edge. It was a very long way down, and I knew he
was dead, so I went back to the police and told them what happened.
They checked out the truck and told me for sure that it was
him.
Good riddance to bad
rubbish!
