Drama on the bayou
A white truck drove into the bayou and that is where the facts stop and the drama begins. As police, cars, people, dogs, children, bikes gathered around the tow truck this afternoon watching a diver wearing a big yellow diving helmet going up and down to attach the strings to the white truck stories began to take shape. My neighbor returned from Terranova where he heard it was a jealous girlfriend following behind her boyfriend causing him to be distracted and plunge into the bayou. Another person asked what happened to the 11 year old who was in the truck with the guy. Another cited a blue SUV that stopped and plunged into the water after the truck to save the driver and drive him to the hospital where he lay in a mysterious state. Still another said seizure.
As stories multiplied exponentially we all stood on the banks of the bayou watching the tow truck lift the white truck out of the water.
The nun said, I hope it wasn’t a suicide. And so another story began.
