come down and take a look
« on: November 09, 2006, 08:02:51 am »
**disclaimer This story is based on true events no names were changed because none were used**

 
I called a local amusement vendor recently to see if he would have any parts or cabs I might be able to use for a project I was going to build. He said what are you looking for and I' replied I don't exactly know, so we bantered back and forth and finally I hear with some frustration in his voice the words that I had only dreamed about (why don't you come down and take a look). I immediately set up a time.I pull up to this pretty impressive warehouse as he takes several paddlelocks off the door and slowly opens it. It was dark inside but with a dim light coming from a dusty window i looked out at an ocean of silhouettes my heart raced with anticipation what i might find. I tried to act calm as he showed me around. But it was sensory overload     ***to be continued***

This is like a "to-be-continued" TV episode.. and everyone knows that those episodes totally suck.

Why didn't you just finish the story when you started typing it?   :dunno

Needed a cliffhanger ending to boost next week's ratings.
