A Noose? Why, Yes, Please!!

So, some kids wake up one morning and decide to return home after a fairly impromptu roadtrip to Memphis. The day starts out okay. It started off with a wee bit of truck trouble and some Chick-Fil-A. These kids jump on 240 West and head in the direction of home. The sky ahead was a very black and ominously eerie, but the three cool cats kept on truckin'.

Until.....


the truck loses power. Loses POWER! The shocked kiddos coast to the side of the highway and commence the hysterics. Well, not really. The kids stayed pretty calm at first, especially seeing how two of the three went through the same exact symptoms with a familiar red truck not four days earlier. And the little red truck had to be pushed off the road.

But anyway. Back to the truck at hand.

The kids call for back-up. The rain begins to fall. And as it turns out, back-up would not be found easily. The hysterics ensue for two of the kids. Now, keep in mind, these two kids have had a rough couple of days. So, after a few minutes, when back-up has been assured and officially called, the kids await for their Knight-In-Sneakers-And-Shorts.

Help arrives in his chariot. Unfortunately, the chariot encounters a flat tire just as the Knight arrives. The rain continues to fall in very hard, very loud sheets of madness. The kids jump out to meet their rescuer and watch as the tire is changed with a spare. In the freakin' rain.

Again, the issue of the rain must be pointed out for all to recognize and take note of.

Then, the kids await the arrival of Mr. Tow Truck. He arrives and one of the kids is whisked away inside the tow truck with a very bearded, slightly scary man. The other two kids stand guard as the first kid fills out the necessary paperwork.

Finally, the drenched kids are taken away in the chariot. But instead of being taken to a safe, dry place, the kids are treated to a view of some ghetto named after a color of sorts.

Will the kids survive the colorful ghetto?? Will they even make it home?? And will the two kids who are down-on-their-luck with vehicles ever drive again?!

Tune in for the next installment of A Noose? Why, Yes, Please!!
