The_amazing_mr._howard
“Fat, gray clouds blew over the mountains and broke open. Rain and hail hammered the roof of the house. Mr. Howard checked the clock on the wall.
Damn it.
He would need to leave within fifteen minutes in order to make it to class on time.
The hail stopped before he climbed into his Mercedes, but rain continued to fall in wind-driven sheets. The pattering rain and squeaking windshield wipers performed a seasonal melody. There was one blessing in the rain—no crazy bicyclists to dodge. They invaded... the town like parasites, weaving in and out of traffic and popping up in blind spots. A year before, he hit a bicyclist named Harvey Langford. Poor Harvey, he would have ridden away with a few bruises if he hadn’t threatened to file a lawsuit. Good thing the accident took place with no one around to witness it.
Mr. Howard often recalled Harvey as he drove past his unmarked grave in the foothills. “How is that lawsuit coming, Harvey?” he would shout out the window and smile. But in the end, Harvey had the last laugh.MoreLess
