We Playin' Basketball

It was a hot summer day and Harold was just making the last adjustments to his latest invention that would allow him to travel back to Wichita to hang out with his friends:

Given his limited skills and technology, Harold had to settle for inferior skateboard components, but he was still able to create the fastest skateboard in the history of Western Civilization. Yes, a rocket propelled skateboard that can break the sound barrier.

After traveling back to Wichita, Harold decided to go to the park and see if he could get in on some of the basketball action.

Unfortunately, none of the people picked Harold to play on their teams so he started walking home before it got dark outside. Meanwhile, Harold’s Always Troublesome Ensemble (Team HATE) just got word that their favorite person to pick on is back in town and began brainstorming ideas of how they can ruin Harold’s day.

On the way home from the park, Harold ran into a rambunctious group of kids who had nothing better to do than through objects at Harold.

Rogue Agent Torey, who is in no way affiliated with Team HATE, threw a giant baseball and knocked Harold off his skateboard. Harold passed out almost immediately after the ball made impact with his head.

After a couple hours, Harold began to regain consciousness. Taking note of his surroundings he saw that he was surrounded by Team HATE. What did they want with him this time?

Unaware of their intentions, Harold was excited that he will finally have someone to play basketball with. When five o’clock came around, Harold ran straight to the park anticipating an afternoon of great fun. While waiting at the park, the seconds went by… then the minutes went by… then the hours went by… Looks like Harold got stood up.

Once again, Team HATE ruined the afternoon for Harold and his glorious return to Wichita turned out not to be so glorious after all. And wait a minute… where the heck is his wallet?

Harold picked himself up off the ground after shedding many tears of sorrow, got on his skateboard and returned to Chicago once again lonely, without friends, money or his driver’s license.
