Recycling is Eek-o-friendly

I just converted this April 8, 2005 blog post (heavily sourced from DadTalk, Inland Empire Report, Inland Empress, and Slate) into this story (related to this picture) in the Random Picture...Random Story blog. I wish I were better at writing fiction - being attacked by Star Wars storm troopers in an antiseptic shopping area has definite terror possibilities.

In the story, the main character (Jeremy, named after the Pearl Jam song) is a teenage boy who heads to the mall on his skateboard one afternoon to check out the chicks. After passing a mall sign with some rules and regulations (stolen from Brea Downtown), he enters the mall:

As he cruised through the handicapped door, he heard a very loud alarm go off, accompanied by a computerized voice that boomed, "NO SKATEBOARDING." The alarm and voice shocked him so much that he dropped the glass of Coke that he had taken from his stepfather's house. As the glass shattered, a second alarm went off, and the words "NO BREAKAGE" were boomed over the loudspeakers....


For the rest of the story, go here.
