He needed a slash. Town hall. It had toilets. He got some looks but no-one stopped him.

There was a council meeting convening. He decided to listen.

"So, if we want to win "Town in Bloom", we will need money from somewhere."

He listened. Flowers? Who cared about flowers?

"The proposed skate ramp? That would free up thousands!"

No! Not the skate ramp!

"It's only delinquents who want it anyway."

He peered around the door and saw some sweaty old bloke, laughing.

Bastards.

He took a stick and hacked. Colourful heads flew everywhere.

"Town in Bloom"?

Not this year.
