TIM

January 3, 2017

Tim knew better than to confront Charles directly. Acting with this knowledge in mind, he purchased a helicopter, a false nose, and a swollen inflated plastic rabbit. After taking a slew of flying lessons and qualifying as a helicopter pilot, he nudged his little plan into motion. First, he flew in his helicopter with rabbit and nose to a clearing in the woods a scant half mile from the farmhouse where Charles always holed up to develop his most heinous plans. Nose taped in place and dragging the swollen plastic rabbit by an ear, Tim crept to hide behind the fence within grenade lobbing distance of the farmhouse door. Whenever Charles emerged, and emerge he must, Tim would instantly bring rabbit and nose into play. Unfortunately, Charles had sold the farm two weeks earlier and moved to Scotland, never more to be seen. So whatever Tim had in mind for nose and swollen inflated plastic rabbit never was revealed. When Tim died 74 years later, the nose and plastic deflated rabbit were buried with him.
