"Author Harold Townbridge, 31, deadly struck by  a car..."

-Watch out!

-Oh my God! Thank you so very much Mr.--Mr. ...?

-Gary Hobson.

-I owe you my life Mr. Hobson. My name is Harold Townbridge . I will be eternally in debt

-You're welcome, I just happened to saw the car when you did not. Now, if you'll excuse me..

-But I want to thank you! Please, is there anything that I can do for you? I am a mere new beginner writer, but if there is anything or any other thing

-Thank you but I must go--I have uh, an  appointment, just be more careful from now on.

-----------------

...and a shy smile--yeah! thats it! Now I have my hero character. He could have the same built as Gary Hoson , yeah, but well, I'll give him.. let's see, blond no--auburn, yeah that's it, auburn hair and  he'll not be the arrogant archetype, he'll be a reserved person, a 'reserved' pirate?! Well he can be not  a pirate, and then I'll not be compelled to read all this nautical stuff. That's it! He will be a terrestrial hero,now I need a horse..something, he
must be able to go from place to place... 

------------------
-Again? Again him? And at the same time? What's the matter with this Harold Townbridge ? He becomes suddenly thoughtless at 10 a.m every day?
 
-Meow!

-You can't be more specific?

-Meow,meow!

-Yeah, I see!
------------------

...and he doesn't want anything...he is the perfect hero,he doesn't seek revenge, he does the right thing because it is right to do it,and he doesn't ask for
anything back...he saves people from...from...he saves people...think Harold! He saves people from--think! think!........

-------------------------------

-This can't be Cat! Do you hear me? This just can't be!

-Mrraow!

-You're on his side? But why? He surely wants to attempt suicide! He wants it to be at 10 a.m in a random street , and he wants to be struck by a car.I
must call someone, a psychiatrist, help, I don't know!

-Mow!

-No? You think he is the nice person he appears to be? Just somehow getting dreamy at 10 a.m every morning? Because he has a sudden inspiration or something?

-Mrrrrrrrawwwww!

-Why do I listen to you?

--------------------

.....and very oddly, he comes at the right place at the right time...when someone is in danger, he appears...nah! this sounds too superheroical ,and mine
is a normal person,with everyones limits and tasks but he just do the right thing because he believes in it...well,yeah,okay,but how he knows it?he must know it...How can he know that someone is  in  danger?someone must deliver the news...but the someone must not be able to save endangered people...a
bird?!so he can talk to birds?! No...too fantasical...I want a rational story...and then between the time the bird catch Gary Hobson and he
comes to save me , I have enough time to be dead thrice...By the way what's the matter with me?how it is that I have been so careless these days?....

-------------------------

-You know,if this is a kind of the paper's joke it is not the littlest bit funny!

-Mooow!

-Okay,but this is the last time!Do you hear me? The LAST TIME I go rescue this boy from being struck by a car at 10 a.m.

-Mrrrrrrr
-------------

...a note..a sheet..a booklet...a something weekly delivered..no..daily delivered  in which all the people wholl be hit by a car..no,I mean hit by the
horses and so on will be indicated in--yeah,sounds very good--fantasical,but yet..well...so now I have all the principal elements..."Once upon a time in a little town,lived a shy auburn haired young man who got a special booklet"...no let it be.."a special newspaper with tomorrow's news,it was brought to him by a little white bird...what do you think he did with it?..." funny...it sounds so real...and if this boy... what was his name...OH! Shame on you Harold!He had saved you four times!...yeah,...how odd...four times...what was his name?! what was his name?...

---------------

The end.
