Midnight Transmission from Cypress Mile 9
The tower came alive without power. First it read tomorrow’s weather backward. Then it asked whether anyone had seen a blue truck carrying three jars of lightning.
We answered with the standard field-office code: two flashlight blinks, one porch-light blink, and a firm refusal to discuss the jars.
At 12:31 a.m. the tower broadcast a recipe for fog. We have filed it under “probably soup.”
The signal stopped at 12:44. Every frog in the ditch faced north for another six minutes.

That tower used to broadcast baseball scores from games that had not happened yet. Mostly ties.
Please tell it the blue truck is not ours. Ours is green and only carries ordinary lightning.
