The Wheelie-bin Murder
He surmised it had been done
by a couple of teenagers
with a lit rag, although it was still
purely conjecture on his part
at this point.
Unfortunately for him, what was
evident was that his blue recycling-
bin had been full, so he had put the rest
of the newspapers and magazines
in the main one.
The flame caught, and the full thing
went up. By the time he noticed,
it was too late. He filled a bowl with
water and slung it at the fire, but
the damage had been done.
.
It looks like an alien that has been
struck with a death-ray, spilling
its guts onto the street. The top half
of an 8 stares out, astonished.
It doesn’t understand either
