He got into the RAV4. It was blue, shiny, and the left rear tire looked slightly low. A bird had crapped on the hood and the sun’s reflection angle drew reluctant attention to it.

He gingerly settled into the immaculate, cobalt-hued RAV4, its resplendent, almost mirror-like finish gleaming proudly in the bright, unrelenting midday sun. The plush driver’s seat, clad in impeccably stitched upholstery, offered a welcoming cushion that practically enveloped him in its soft, luxurious embrace. As he glanced outside, the left rear tire, sporting a subtly sagging sidewall, presented a faintly pathetic droop, hinting it might benefit from a much-needed dose of pressurized air. Its alloy rim, however, maintained a dazzling shine, a testament to his painstaking regular maintenance.
With a tinge of resigned annoyance, his gaze drifted across the sleek hood, where an ostentatious splotch of stark, white bird droppings boldly disrupted the otherwise pristine surface. The shimmering rays of sunshine, angled so precisely as to maximize brilliance, seemed to conspire against him, highlighting the unsightly blotch in a glaring, theatrical spotlight. For a moment, he fought the urge to mutter a string of exasperated curses at the inconsiderate avian that had chosen his elegant vehicle as a target. Instead, he let out a long, weary sigh, acknowledging the inevitable trip to the nearest car wash that awaited him. The RAV4’s chrome accents and expertly contoured lines deserved to be restored to their unblemished glory, untainted by an ill-timed, airborne assault.

Chapter Two
Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! A shot rang out. A door slammed, the maid screamed. As a gentle snow fell the little girl in a tattered shawl selling violets on the street corner wipes away a tear, wishing she had a pony. Thirty thousand feet above her a flaming engine detaches from a Boeing 747 .. .
Although attributed to about 15 famous writers, one source found it was probably first said by Blaise Pascal in a letter in 1657:
“I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter.”
Je n’ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n’ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.
He jumped into his junker and split.
