A story beginning with “Two men were…”
The Sink Hole
Two men were walking along the road when they spotted an old newspaper flying around in the breeze. It sailed around them for sometime and then landed right in front. The two men who were chatting, stopped abruptly and couldn’t help but remark on the headline on the newspaper which read “Sinkhole swallow cars in Bezla”. Bezla was their neighbouring town – modern and with all the latest facilities, including spanking new roads.
Both the men laughed and carried on walking, not giving it another thought. Hardly had they gone a few metres when, with a wrenching noise, the road in front of them disappeared! It was a sinkhole; the size of a large building and they were saved by just a few metres! They turned and ran back the way they came, as fast as their legs could carry. Was the old newspaper report just a coincidence or a potent warning?
