the joke was a victory…
oliver lived in a sewer.
in his previous life he had been an understanding person.
now he decided to hit the road.
it was really funny.
oliver saw evangeline standing on the highway with her thumb out.
as the recreational vehicle approached, oliver made a curious sound.
permit me to introduce myself, oliver addressed evangeline.
you scare me, you slob, evangeline replied.
suddenly a yellow cab appeared in the distance.
oliver and evangeline watched breathlessly as it zoomed toward them.
and then a gorilla appeared in the sky.
does that gorilla belong to you? oliver asked evangeline.
no, but i have worshipped him from afar from the day i was born, evangeline replied.
i guess that is all right then.
but the fun was just beginning.
later, when it was over, evangeline and the gorilla walked down the strangely quiet road,
evangeline had shortened her name to eve.
the gorilla’s name was nelson.
not a creature stirred in the forest on the left side of the road.
at last they came to an abandoned gas station and diner.
we have been here before, said nelson
everybody has been everywhere before, eve replied brusquely.
have it your way.
do you think we could find anything to eat or drink in there?
not likely, and dawn is approaching.
i am going to investigate. you can go on and i will catch you later.
good bye.
the sun came up very quickly.
but a fine mist covered the earth as eve continued on, talking to herself in the way that she had.
