Back in 91. My mother and I had just finished watching a syndicated episode of Magnum PI, when suddenly the doorbell rang. We opened the door, and there stood my father. It was raining with a distant sound of thunder. He had a soaking bag of McDonald's in his hands. He came inside, pulled out a Filet o'Fish, and told me I could peel the Monopoly pieces off.
Low and behold, the piece I initially pulled off was Boardwalk!! I scurried into the kitchen to show ma and pa that we were rich! We all jumped up and down for joy, when suddenly the sound of broken glass startled us to hell.
Climbing in through our living room window was Carl Peterson. He'd been tracking my father in hopes that he held the holy Boardwalk piece. A greed-filled smile spread over his face and he pulled out a shiny snubnose revolver from his argyle sock. My mother reached for the phone to dial 911, but she was too late! Mr. Peterson shot her in the face and blood was spurting out all over the linoleum. My dad went to try to help her (I still don't know why...she was clearly missing 3/4 of her face and had no chance).
Carl inched toward me slowly, demanding the Boardwalk piece. I hesitated to hand it over. But then he said something that would change my life forever. "The future of the Kansas City Chiefs lies in that piece my boy".
To Be Continued....just as long as it meets JD's obviously high standard for story telling.
