The Great Rescue

          After Mrs. Mitty came out of the drugstore, they climbed into their automobile, Walter fastened his seat belt, turned on the windscreen wipers and carefully pulled away from the curb. As they drove out of Waterbury he noticed the whistling wind in the dead of winter of a ferocious tornado coming his way as far as the eyes could see. In the way of the of the terror was a young African American child, who seemed to be unaware of the disasterous event that was soon to happen and he was sure to bite the dust. It was quite improbable that the tornado which was now sprinting towards the two would leave them unscathed because it would cover a lot of ground. Feeling as free as a bird Walter leaped like a frog, picked up the child and dove out of the way of terror still feeling as light as a feather. As the storm started to settle the young boy looked right into the eyes of Mr.Mitty. "Your as strong as an ox and as brave as a lion" said the young boy said. Walter Mitty was a slow as a snail to respond. "What is your name?" Walter said boisterously. "Barack Obama" the child replied in a voice as deep as the sea. Then it hit him. The older the dirt Mr.Mitty just saved the life of the president to come. Timing really is everything Walter thought to himself. Suddenly Mr.Mitty woke up naked as a jailbird in a hospital bed. Calmly Mr.Mitty asked the nurse "What has happened? Why am I in here?" She responded "During your day dream at the wheel of the car, you sent the vehicle flying off the bridge just out of town." Walter was told it was only once in a blue moon when someone survived with injuries a terrible as yours by the doctor. "Where is my wife?" he questioned with his cheeks as red as a beet. "Well she is in a coma." said the nurse. Mr.Mitty rolled over feeling as fresh as a daisy.
