...called "Kill Billy, Volume One"!
Stars our virtuous hero, who gets a call Friday evening from
the villainous Billy. Let's ride tomorrow morning (rain in
forecast).
Hero says he's fried from hard ride earlier; let's touch
base in AM.
Villain calls hero at 7:20, hero reluctantly agrees to ride.
Hero ingests coffee, gets all the duds on, ready to roll.
Villain calls at 8:40, and says it's cloudy now; no ride!
Hero says well [censored], I got all the [censored] on so what the hell.
(Hero tempted to be lazy and just go to yoga class, but he
IS a hero so sucks it up.) Takes a while longer to leave
(bad mistake); rolls out of Batcave at 9:20 or so.
Hero rides up coast to race track and back down to
state beach, at which time big ol' drops of rain start
pelting his cape.
By time hero reaches top of Torrey Pines, it's pouring...AND
windy...AND cold. Hero soaked to skin all way back to cave;
lucky to not get killed by
Mr. Freeze's vehicle in blinding rain storm along way.
Hero's Kleinmobile now dried and lubed; costume dripping on
batcave floor; fingers still clammy and numb.
Hero shall extract revenge upon villainous Billy at time and
place of his choosing (Volume Two!).
Bill "very, very patient" S.
