The Boot
   
  Cover
1. My job was driving deliveries for a hardware store.
2. I delivered things like bushes and trees and plants
3. Once I delivered some bushes to this guy but when I got there he was dead in the hammock in his backyard.
4. So I went back to the house and told my boss I couldn't find the house.
5. Sunday morning we were supposed to set our clocks back but I forgot so I was two hours late.
6. So I got fired.
7. They probably wouldn't have fired me except I was late all these other times.
8. It probably wouldn't have been a big deal except some of the times I was late I tried to put a fake time on my timecard.
9. After I got fired they gave me my last check so I had lunch then I bought a BB gun.
10. After that I went home and there was a Twilight Zone marathon on TV.
11. They showed the one where the doll kills the man and the one where the man flips a nickel into the box and then he knows everything.
12. The Twilight Zone stayed on all night and all the next day.
