Orange Barrel

The long and boring drive from Cedar to Richfield and back again is one that i've had to make a lot this month. On my way to Cedar i was driving along, bored because the road is so plain, when i got to a construction area. I passed a semi so i wouldn't have to be behind him during the one lane construction zone. Cruising along at a speed higher than the law allows, i had to suddenly slow down. There was a bug orange barrel in the middle of the lane! I had to go outside almost onto the gravel so i wouldn't miss it. Since I had been going so fast before i saw it, I didn't have time to stop to move it. I felt bad, I wasn't sure if the semi would be able to fit on the road.
The orange barrel was so out of place, i figured someone must of put it there. It was standing straight up, so i knew it didn't get knocked over or something like that. There was a place for it in the line of orange barrells; I could see where it was supposed to go.


A group of teenage boys are bored and on their way to go bunny bashing. While on the highway, there isn't anyone around, so they think it'd be funny to leave a surprise for someone in the middle of the road. They don't think that anyone will get hurt since there isn't a lot of traffic compared to the freeway, and its not right after a bend so people will be able to see it and slow down. They are young, immature, carefree teenagers so they don't really care anyways. They don't think about all of the possibilities, they are only thinking about the thrill they have in doing something new and bad.
After moving the construction barrel in the road they drive away laughing and thinking about different peoples reactions. They all agree that they are very clever and pride themselves on how smart they are. One boy remarks, "I bet no one else has thought to do that! Wait til our friends at school hear about this!" They have fun bunny bashing, and then drive home late at night.
