+6 (an inside joke)
He stood in the rain, his slicker pulled in tight as he tried in vain to cut
the wind. Across the alley a man stood enraptured by something only he could
see.
From down that street a low rumble... like the rumble of a hungry tiger
on the hunt, then a high pitched whine and the quick sound of gears being
crunched from not far off. The doppler effect of the vehicle approaching was
eery.
The two men in the alley turned their heads up toward the noise. One
one man oblivious to the now horrendous downpour, the other no longer caring
about his secret.
The noise grew in intensity and echoed madly about the alley. The two men lifted
their hands and pressed them hotly to their ears in vain, the noise was too
intense.
Suddenly careening around the corner came a light, and with it, the noise.
The two men ran together, their hands still pressed to their ears the held
each other with a fury normally reserved for young virgin lovers.
The lights went up when the vehicle came to a slight incline and through the
light they saw him. He was black as night and had a six on his forehead.
The man in the now apparent dump truck found another gear and gunned the
engine. The two men took that moment when the lights were no longer on them
and tried to jump aside.
Suddenly from the window, a wisp of paper flew and hit the man with a secret
in the chest. He grabbed the paper and looked at it just before the truck
blew over them it said... "+6 Runaway cannot be mocked" as the truck droned
of into the distance you could here him laugh.
The end.
