Invasion of the Road Weenies (17 page)

“The Shortcut”

I remember getting caught in a major rainstorm when I was a kid. When I started writing this story, all I had in mind
was a couple of very wet kids. Once they walked into the hospital, it was easy to know where to send them. I try to end every collection with a really scary story. I hope this one did the trick.

Well, that wraps up this collection. Now that I've covered lawn weenies and road weenies, I need to think about who might be next. Maybe those all-too-serious guys in their funny shorts and high-tech helmets who don't know that bicycles are supposed to be fun. Hmmm . . . bike weenies . . . Now there's an idea I can sink my mind into.
