2869. Electric bicycles © Bruce Goodman 9 October 2023

Murder was the last thing on my mind when I pulled the trigger. I was simply intending to scare the Prime Minister off. He was going to attend a rally promoting electric bicycles and was favouring the opposition. I too make electric bicycles and he was putting the other bicycle manufacturer in the area ahead of me. In fact he was destined not to mention me at all. What I thought I’d do was fire above his head and he’d run away like blazes. Then he wouldn’t be able to promote the other electric bicycle company. However, I’m a bad shot. I got him in the head. I haven’t been arrested and I’m not going to give myself up. They’re still looking for the assassin as they like to dub me. But a wondrous thing happened. The acting Prime Minister didn’t like the electric bicycle company his predecessor was promoting. The new one has come to me and ordered sixty electric bikes. Limousines carrying politicians are a thing of the past. They are to bicycle themselves around town! It’s all part of their Green Agenda. It suits me down to the ground. Those electrical bicycle batteries catch fire. This is my opportunity because I belong to the opposition party! Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
