Flying Monkeys

Had the living daylights scared out of me today.  While walking to work I rounded the corner of the parking garage and was just about to walk pass a large dumpster when all of a sudden this loud BANG! went off in my ear. I thought a bomb had exploded. But NO!  It was Mr. "Headbangers Ball' pretending to be a freerunner.  He took a flying leap off the second story of the parking structure and landed on top of the dumpster and then went scurrying off down the alleyway like one of those heinous flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.


After shouting a few choice expletives at his disappearing figure I flew inside the library to head him off at the pass. I found him outside the 2nd floor men's restroom.  So I put on my meanest librarian scowl, took an authoritative stance, and in my best elementary school principal impression, started waving my finger in his face and gave him the speech about legal liability and banning him for life from the library. I think I put the fear of God into him because he scurried outside the library licketedy-split.
