Time Warp: Commence Wacky Scheme!

Time warp part 2: May 6

Finally, the Pye Boys are putting their scheme into action. Or at least, they’re putting a scheme into action. I don’t think this was their original scheme, but never let it be said that this family isn’t resourceful. (Some months ago, I believe this family was caught attempting to rob a liquor store… by tunneling underground from the basement of the house across the street.)

Anyhow, not a moment too soon, even though the lack of forethought may come back to hurt them. For example, where are they going to keep Sturdivant? They have no property to use as a home base, and I don’t think it really counts as kidnapping if they just hole up in a different room of the church. And how are they going to deliver their demands? They don’t have a cell phone or nothing, do they? Plus, how exactly are they going to get out of the church with Sturdy? Wouldn’t some of the other guests follow? I know that requires a bit of thinking, like “Hey! A guy’s getting kidnapped by people armed only with a cane in a rickety car from 1920 that only goes 14 miles per hour! Maybe we should give chase and rescue him!” So, sure, the average guest is going to be bored by the first apostrophe. But even if the average guest doesn’t think all the way through, at least one or two probably would.

Oh well. Should be fun to watch.
