Thwack!

Thwack!

So after the 6th Thwack!, I finally pulled my car off the road. It was about 9:00 last night and I was on my way to The Sister's house who lives outside of town. Now that the days are getting shorter again, it was nearly dark and I had a hard time getting a handle on what was happening.

Accept for the large the truck in front of me, I was the only car on the road. So when I pulled over, it was kind of creepy. I know the road like the back of my hand but when it's dark, there's bats and shit and I wasn't in the mood to go through the "screaming like a baby and flailing my arms about" thing I became all too familiar with last week.

With the beam of my headlights, I could see something all over the road but it was hard to make out. Whatever it was was now all over my car and I decided I just needed to be brave and get out and check it out.

As soon as my first foot hit the ground, I crunched down on something that was kind of squeaky. Due to my overactive and irrational imagination, I assumed I had stepped on a bat carcass as I was sure the end was near and bats were dropping from the sky.

(Now do you see why I drink?)

Just before the nervous breakdown set it, a truck started coming down the road and I quick got back in my car so I didn't end up on his windshield. And as I was rolling up my window, "THWACK!" righ in the forehead.

And do you know what fell on my lap?

A damn green bean.

Your basic garden variety green freaking bean.

And they were everywhere. All over my car, all over the road - hence the squeaking crunch.

There is a large field about a mile from The Sister's house and I completely forgot it had been planted in beans and apparently last night was harvest night. It finally dawned on me that those trucks I was encountering were hauling those beans.

I tell you - Food.

I cook it, I serve it, I eat it, I love it - and now I am attacked by it.

Damn beans.
