NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING
"C'mon, Tommy. There's an ol' pile of junk over by that fence," said George, a mop-headed boy of 10 years. George had a mean face and hard eyes.
"Okay," said Tommy.
"It looks like a car. A Ford, I betcha!"
"How d'ya know? There ain't much left," said Tommy, who was smaller than George, and much dirtier.
The two boys scrambled down a steep weed covered bank and ran to the remains of the car.
"Gee, there ain't much left," echoed George.
"Let's see if we kin crawl inside. We kin puttend it's an ambulance or a police car," said Tommy.
Tommy tried to squirm into the front seat through the smashed door.
"I'll push ya," said George.
"I can't git in," he said.
"No, don't! Cut it out. I'm stuck. Cut it out, will ya?" wailed Tommy.
"Nuts," said George.
Then George saw a scrap of paper on the ground, peeking from the December snow.
Look, Tommy. What's this? he asked.
The card read: University of Kansas,
student identification card. There was a picture
of a young man. Blood stained the signature.
"Gee," said George.
"Gee," echoed Tommy.
