Wild Horse Drug Him Away
By:Johnny Jenkins
Casey worked security at the local video gaming room. He had worked there for almost 5 years. He thought he had seen it all. He had seen people who tried to cheat the machines. He had also seen those who had fits when they lost a game.
He had even seen people who talked to UFOS to get information. Most of them were just a little weird. For the most part, he considered them harmless. The majority of them just came to play the games. If they lost their money they would go home. Even though there were more loosers than winners, the place always grew a crowd.
Casey was even considering opening up a small place of his own one day. He wanted to learn all he could and start when he could afford to do so. For now he was content with working there. He was grateful that had never had any serious security issues.
One night while Casey was on duty, a man walked into to the gaming room. He was an ordinary looking guy. He walked slowly straight to the bar and ordered several beers. He drank all of them one after the other.
Casey thought it was strange but lots of guys come in the place to drown their sorrows. After the guy drank all the beers he stumbled over to one of the gaming machines. He started playing the machine.
He was not happy with the results nevertheless; he kept on playing. With each pull of the handle he became more and more angry. He started cursing the machine. Casey had seen this before.
The guy had a little too much to drink and was taking it out on the machine. There was nothing he could do unless the guy damaged something. The guy played on and finally the machine paid him a small jackpot.
Casey thought, good he won something now maybe he will leave. The guy did not leave. He went back to the bar and ordered another beer. Then he went back to the machine and continued to play. He was on the loosing streak again.
When he had lost all of his money, he slammed his fist on the machine breaking the glass covering. Casey saw this and knew it was time to take action. He ran over and tried to reason with the guy. The guy took a swing at Casey but he missed.
When he spun around Casey tackled him and they went to the floor. The guy was more powerful than Casey had anticipated. Casey had trouble holding him down. By this time two other security guards joined Casey in an effort to subdue the guy.
The guy seemed to have the strength of five horses. The guards wondered what was going on. They never had this much trouble bringing someone under control. Two more guards came and they were finally able to handcuff the guy until the police arrived.
They were all exhausted. They wondered what could give a man such strength. They thought no man should have that much power. When the police arrived they instantly recognized the guy. He was a drug user that they had arrested before.
He was known to use heroin, which sometimes gives ordinary men superhuman strength. That along with the alcohol must have triggered his rage. He was taken to jail and charged.
If you are dealing with a person who is out of control, you may have to take drastic measures. The quickest way to reduce an individuals ability to cause harm is to remove their sight. Its simple, they cannot fight what they can not see. It maybe your only way to escape harm. Many ordinary items can be used to temporarily blind an assailant.

Our world is made of all kinds of persons. Some do things as they have been done since ages. They talk, react, judge and act exactly as they have seen and taught.

Its 12000 btu burning capacity is not that powerful, but it does offer three burners.
