A Strategic Withdrawal
by Dave, Edward, Jeff, Joe, and Sean

It might have happened this way...

Zen: We are leaving Right Now.

Rez: Allllriiight!

Gaudior: By all means, let's burn rubber. Reziphel Ofanim, if we go RIGHT NOW, you can ignore traffic laws, politeness, and safety considerations.

Rez: (GRIN) Oh. Oh-oh-oh... ohGodyes! Yes! YES! So I take it you'd like me to drive to Peru now?

Janet: Hold on a second I need my purse.

Zen: The other Now. (Picking up Janet as he follows the sprinting Ofanite triumphantly waving some car keys.)

Janet: Wait I have a run in my -- (whap)

Zen: Sorry about that.

Janet: That was my head hitting the doorframe you young wet behind the milk feathered -- Is He Driving My -- Stop this right now. Zenanial dear, PUT ME DOWN!

(Sounds of bodies hastily entering a revving car.)

Appoggee: Bark, Bark. (Scrambles into a "safe" place in the car.)

(Some hollering is heard through the windows, albeit somewhat muffled due to the noise of a large V8 converting tires into smoke and noise. The car effortlessly parts some jaywalkers halfway down the block, glides across the sidewalk a bit and makes an impossible 90 degree turn, and is last heard dopplering down the street. The screen door slams shut on the row house, and a hubcap spins madly in a little circle near some dazed jaywalkers.)

Jaywalker (looking rather startledly at two strips of burnt rubber that circumnavigate him): Was that a squirrel in the front seat?

Other Jaywalker: Yea, in a little tupperware container full of eyes.
