Town and Country, the Eternal Dilemma
| 
Apr 14 04:20 UTC 1994 |
"Jumpin' Jehosphat!" shouted Paw as the giant locomotive careened
through the pasture and collided full force with the henhouse.
In the meantime, back in the city, well-to-do man about town Lautrec
Cranbrook had made a decision. Unfortunately, I have no idea what it
was.
Hens squawking, feathers flying in all directions. What a sight! How
that locomotive had come to be in Paw's pasture, with no train tracks
for miles around, is a mystery we'll never solve.
Lautrec Cranbrook might solve it, I suppose. I have a feeling that's
what his decision was about. But maybe it wasn't.
I mean, don't *you* ever have hunches that turn out to be way off
base? Don't you? I *try* to get things right, God knows I try. But
I can't be right all the time. Nobody can.
Well anyway, folks flocked from miles around to see the wreck of the
mighty locomotive smack dab in the middle of Paws farm. Nobody'd been
driving it, apparently. Leastwise, no engineer ever turned up, then
or since.
Cranbrook poured himself a glass of whiskey and stood looking out his
penthouse window at the cityscape. It was nearly dusk. The dying sun
gave an orange cast to fleecy white clowds. But suddenly, a mighty
locomotive crashed through the entrance to his apartment and came to
rest in the dining room after demolishing a wall and smashing the
dining room table to smithereens.
There are no guarantees in this life. None. Who know what the next
minute may bring?

Excuse me, I have to check for a locomotive coming through my door, be right
back.
Byt the way, does that mean that the next moment might bring complete normalcy
? That is the scariest thought I think I've ever had.

Gee, here it is another day and randall isn't back yet. I'll bet
there was a locomotive at his door after all.
