After a few years reading, learning,watching all the goings on on seabreeze only recently looked at the ABOUT heading. Great story.

I'm moving out....

The police investigated the accident but due to a lack of witnesses little could be

done. A few photo's of the scene (using Reflex Film of course) and a report was

logged. Chief inspector Caran Toc wondered if it was a result of a Fatwa. There were

numerous different cultures in the area and being Mongolian himself, he knew it was a

possibility. The truck had hit the victim in wet weather like an aquaplow destroying

nearly all the evidence. All that remained were body parts and remnants of a strange

animal skin. Inspector Toc scratched his head. He wasn't by nature a Worrier but

something here didn't add up. Toc surveyed the scene quietly humming to himself. It

was a habit he had picked up from Sergeant Elmo.It helped him relax and think.“Do

the Logman” he softly sang. There was a maxm in law that stated you should

never……before he could finish the thought a blow came from behind. ”BYF”!! Toc

staggered away then collapsed into the doorway of the CMC building. Later he was to

say he had never even seen who did it. With his speech slurred from the blow to the head

it sounded more like “nebbian seen him”

There was no Russh. Elmo chewed on a Sausage and fiddled with the window winder.

First he wound it up a bit, then he used the Down Winder. A group of people, obviously

migrants passed by the car. Do you speak Inglesia he asked eleven times? Getting no

reply he finally gave up? “Puppet on a string” by Sandie shaw played on the radio as a

Poodle trotted past. Boring thought Elmo. I could do with a Wine man. I'm gunna one

day get out of this caper.

I want some of what you are on.

Correction! To be that witty and funny you can only be on the ball. Where is that ball?
On the corner pocket or the middle, in the rough or on the green?

Who cares, just keep chasing it. It is a dead set crack up.

Rob having given his hands a good scrub came back up the alley to get his pie. Life was

good he thought as he whistled “Do The Logman”

You're both under arrest said Elmo.

Back at the station Oliver explained what had happened.

Leaving the pub he had drawn the cape over himself as protection from the rain. He

was watching as a heavy truck reversed down Laceys lane when he had been

startled by a flash of something moving quickly from the side. Driven mad by the

scent of Grumplestilt the black and white dog had jumped the fence. Quickly

weighing up his options Oliver hurled the cape at the dog and leapt for the back of

the truck. Hauling himself up he tumbled into the back landing on something wet and

squishy. Looking down he reeled back in horror. The truck was loaded with body

parts. He threw some of them away from him in terror then as the alcohol and shock

took over he collapsed.

As he lost consciousness a sudden recognition of his own mortality came to him and

he realised that the meaning of life was……..

Oliver returned home to be reunited with an ecstatic Doggie and a strangely subdued

Felix. Resolving to live his life to the full he switched on the telly to check the weather

only to find a special was on. 2Dogs at the Hollywood Bowl. I like one of their songs

thought Oliver and he settled into his chair. I'll watch this first, then do something he

decided.

Good on you Oliver. I did take some liberties. Glad you enjoyed it.
