The Phantom Firebird

I remember it very clearly, it was the afternoon of October 1, 1988, it was cooler than usual. I remember when I first heard the sound I thought it was a freight train, it wasn't the trans hand that was being chased, it went past the cement plant and turned towards the bridge, it was shooting into the country, it's there Below, look, there he is, and after that I couldn't tell you, no one could, they never saw him again. Sheriff's departments were notified to all surrounding counties and states, but there were no reports, no. sightings just disappeared then the police found who they assumed was the driver who was in a creek bed about 15 miles from town was dead and what about the chase vehicle?

They ended up finding the truck in a junkyard in Minnesota hello mayor honey that's where the story ends some people say it was a drug deal gone bad others say it was something bigger like just rumors okay um and what kind of car you said it was exactly a 79

firebird

I guess not, what's wrong with you?

So what's going on with the car? I found this car, it has been sitting for a long time and I want to start it, how long has it been sitting? It's covered in dust and the tires are all flat, so it's okay, you'll definitely need a battery. What kind of car is it? It is not a firebird like the old firebird. Oh, the late 70s. What color. I couldn't really tell that it was covered in dust. Where is? I found it on his property. Can you show it to me? Sure tonight. Okay, this is all. Maybe we should have come during the day.

Do you know what's really strange? What is it? I don't even see any owl pellets here, no feathers, no trace of anything. Yes, that's very strange, I can assure you there are no trains there, let's just look at the car, my God, you really like those firebirds, don't you, Carl? You said Roger doesn't know anything about this, I guess you forgot. I mean, he's been sitting here for a long time. This is not Roger's car. Okay, you know how I have that projector tomorrow?
