The home office of the
Bank of America Corporation is at 100 North Tryon Street in Charlotte, North
Carolina. Ironically, only a few blocks
south is one of the most undesirable neighborhoods in America. It is an area of
abject poverty and dangerous criminal activity. The rent is low and that is why
so many poor, old, widows live there. Every day, after work, slippery Dick the
giggler went for a walk in this neighborhood to look for his prey. If he found
one, and there were no witnesses, he would pounce on them for his
entertainment. While giggling with mad enjoyment, he would beat them into
submission and steal their purse.
Number Woman, disguised
as a frail old widow, with Hairy in a hidden position of surveillance, began
trolling the neighborhood and waited for slippery Dick to strike. One evening
at dusk, slippery dick made his move. He quietly snuck up behind his victim and
was about to push her onto the sidewalk when she whirled around and deftly
kicked him in the solar plexus. He was stunned, paralyzed, and very surprised.
With her deadly steel toed tap dancing shoes, she continued to kick him in a
number of vulnerable places until he was unconscious. Then, she and Hairy
transported him to a local tattoo parlor where they paid the artist to do a tattoo
on his forehead that said, “I am a dirty puke who preys on widows and orphans.”

Ah so, the infamous Scarlet Letters!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. As with all of life, there is really nothing new in literature.
