At that moment the doctor opened the door and entered with a shabby looking guy. He said, “My dear fellow, I have some good news and some more good news...This fellow here, Mr. Stevens, is a TV reporter, did you know that you are the rage in the town right now, 17 times run over and every time you get a new and more wonderful power and...”2
Alan cut off the babbling doctor, whom he didn’t hold in a high regard anyway...”Tell me what new powers have I gotten this time...”3
The doc said, “Well I think telekinesis was the only power eluding you...so it must be telekinesis you should have gotten”4
Alan yelled, “No NO NOOOOO, you stupid doctor I wanted a truck for myself...so I can drive it round the town, running people down at will...”5
The doc, thoroughly embarrassed, coughed and said in (what he thought was) a soothing way, “Well the other good news that I was going to tell you was that...”6
Alan turned to the reporter and said, “So what is it you want of me?”7
“Well sir we’ll like to interview you on how come you get run over by trucks on a weekly basis?” the reporter said...8
“And if I tell you that will I get that damn truck...huh?” Alan said pointing to the reporter’s truck visible from the window....9
The Doc said, “Well if you do get the truck don’t forget to give me a drive in it...”10
“Well who said anything about any truck, we aren’t giving out any trucks!” the reporter said hard-heartedly...11
“NO NO NO I want that truck...get me one...OR OR...” Alan was practically yelling now...12
“Well sir I am afraid that this interview can go no further then...because we don’t feel like giving trucks to addle-brains...who allow themselves to be run over regularly”, the reporter told Alan sweetly...13
Alan said, “Didn’t you hear the doc tell that I have gotten 16 different powers from 16 different accidents...and this was the 17th”14
The doc whined, “Give him the truck man...he will give me free rides on it, wont you Alan, old mate?”15
“No I won’t, you stupid, no-good doctor”, was Alan’s reply16
“Oh he won’t, he won’t”, the doctor started sobbing, “He won’t let me ride in a brand new truck and it has been a passion for me since I was 13...”17
Alan told the reporter savagely, “Now see what you have done...you have made the good doctor cry...YOU YOU...You reporter...”18
The reporter looked confusedly at both the doc and Alan...He said,” But it was you who told him you wouldn’t take him for a ride”19
“No it was all your fault”, Alan told him20
The doctor sobbed,” yah it was your fault”21
The reporter, looking dazed, asks, “But where’s this truck that you are making all this fuss about?”22
“Of course YOU are gonna give it to us”, Alan replies.23
“Am I? “The reporter asks...getting more and more confused...24
“Of course you are! Otherwise I will turn you into a horned toad...”25
“No I will prefer a scaled lizard, my dear friend”, the reporter says...26
“Oh yes turn him into a scaled lizard, I have never seen a scaled lizard”, the doc says promptly...27
“Ok but it will cost you a brand new truck”, Alan tells the reporter...28
“Ok mate deal! then you turn the doc into a scaled lizard and I hand you over the keys of a brand new truck”, the reporter says...29
“OH yah that will be great...yippeeeeeeee”, the doc is ecstatic...”But BUT NO...earghhhh”, realization dawns upon the doc a bit too late...30
Bang!!!31
The doctor is replaced by a scaled lizard with the upper torso of a horned toad...32
“OOOPps, my bad, .will correct it in a jiffy”, Alan says.33
AS Alan is experimenting with the doctor, the reporter slips out of the room, gets into his truck and zooms off...34
Alan continues to experiment...35
“Half toad...half lizard....NO!36
Quarter toad, quarter lizard, half human...Nah37
Three quarter toad, 1 quarter weasel...Err...38
Half weasel, half mouse...NO NO NO......39
And on and on and on...
