Bicycle Maddness

When Charlie's class has ended for the day, he gathers his books and heads down the hall. He stops at the water fountain to quench his dry mouth.

He walks outside of Henderson and he thinks to himself that it is a beautiful day. As he strolls across campus he spots Bill walking on the opposite end of the walkway. The two meet in the middle and begin discussing how their day was.

Bill tells Charlie that he has to go to Morgan to check on his financial aid, Charlie said that he will walk with him because he has time to kill until his next class starts.

Bill and Charlie continue their stroll to Morgan, Charlie slaps his arm to avoid a mosquito bite. Bill stops to bend down and tie his shoe.

At that moment, Charlie looks down to see what Bill was doing. Splat!!! Bill looks up to see what the loud noise was. At a distance, Bill spots his wounded friend in the bushes dazed at what just happened.

"That damn guy just hit me with his bicycle" said Charlie. Bill looked around and the bicycle rider was gone. Charlie collects his books from the bushes and they continue their walk to Morgan.

As Bill and Charlie reach the doors of Morgan, Charlie spots the bike that just gave him a good smack. It was chained to the bike rack outside the building. With a grin on his face, Charlie looked at Bill and the sound of "psssssssssssssssst" seemed so liberating.

"That will teach him" said Charlie, as he walked away he gave the bike one last glace to make sure both the tires were flat.

Haha, that's great Dana. Sounds like you have some frustration with the bicycle invasion on campus. Nice job.

With your last two posts, it looks like road rage could be looming on your horizion! I've gone back to riding my bike more, but I have to say that sidewalks, pedestrians and bicycles = "2's company, 3's a crowd!"
