On my way to work this morning, there was a blue vibrator sitting in the gutter on the side of the road, lost and forgotten, but with a battery laying beside it. Just across the footpath was an adult shop.

My reconstruction of possible events goes something like this:

9:45pm - Inside Store

Everything has been closed up for a while, and it's very dark. Blue is all alone, and worried that he's going to be beaten up again. Blue decides that running away is the only option.


9:55pm - Inside Store

Blue has wriggled free of his packaging, and has thrown himself off his shelf. The fall has stunned him, but he hasn't sustained any serious injuries.


10:10pm - Inside Store

Blue has come to, and is making his way slowly towards the crack in the wall that hasn't yet been boarded up. He slips quietly through. Freedom!


10:13pm - Northern Side of Store

Blue is enjoying the cool night air, and sense of freedom. He sets out across the footpath, down the gutter, and over the road. Unfortunately, he knows nothing of cars.


10:16pm - Road in Front of Store

A yellow falcon station wagon strikes Blue, killing him instantly, and throwing him across the road into the gutter. He remains there until a curious child picks him up to take home and draw a moustache on.



Of course, it may not have happened anything like that. I should get back to work.
