A man is walking home alone late
one foggy night…
When behind him he hears:
Bump!
Bump!!!
BUMP!!!
Walking faster, he looks back
and through the fog he makes
out the image of an upright casket
banging its way down the middle
of the street toward him.
BUMP!!!
BUMP!!!
BUMP!!!
Terrified, the man begins
to run toward his home,
the casket bouncing
quickly behind him.
FASTER!
FASTER!!!
BUMP!!!
BUMP!!!
BUMP!!!
He runs up to his door,
fumbles with his keys,
opens the door, rushes in,
slams and locks the door behind him.
However, the casket crashes
through his door,
with the lid of the casket clapping.
Clappity-BUMP!!!
Clappity-BUMP!!!
Clappity-BUMP!!!
On his heels, the terrified man runs.
Rushing upstairs to the bathroom,
the man lock himself in.
His heart is punding;
his head is reeling;
his breath is coming
in sobbing gasps.
With a loud CRASH
the casket breaks down the door.
Bumping and clapping toward him.
The man screams
and reaches for something,
anything, but all he can
find is a bottle of cough syrup!
Desperate,
he throws the cough syrup
at the casket…
and…
The coffin stops.
