The newspaper boy biked down the road pedalling as fast as he could.
He was late.
Finally he reached his destination, but the bicycle slipped and the boy fell on his side. He groaned in pain, and pulled out his stack of newspapers, nicely wrapped in brown paper. He stood up, dusting himself off placing it carefully in the metal cases. Once he did, a crowd of people came rushing in to grab them.
Torn papers fell to the ground as people tried to rip them from each other. The boy picked up a ripped piece of paper on the ground, and read it.
STRANGE CATASTROPHE: INVASION OF TOWN IN JAPAN HAS LEFT EVERYONE DEAD, AND HOMES DESTROYED. COULD THIS BE AMERICA'S MAJOR REVENGE AFTER PEARL HARBOUR?
The boy gasped and dropped the paper, as he ran away.
