Passing-Thought

Extroverts and Introverts

Introverts are more likely to think before they act, but less likely to act. Vice-versa extroverts.

Valiant Trogdor (June 22 - July 30, 2004)

On Friday afternoon, July 30th, 2004, Trogdor Burner gave his life, saving the lives of his close friends from a serious car accident. On duty Officer A. Turner reported, "It is a miracle anyone came out alive. That DVD burner must have took most of the weight."

Pyle Driver, Trogdor's employer, was the operator of the vehicle that violently startled Trogdor and his co-workers from their nap in a sports bag. Sony, one of Trogdor's friends rescued from the bag, was obviously shaken up: "I didn't know what hit us. All of a sudden we were all scrunched together. Before I could ask if everyone was okay, it became so tight that we couldn't breathe to scream."

Witnesses report seeing Pyle Driver in a purple Ford trying to back over the bag. One woman named Jordan seemed angry: "That man was a raving maniac! It didn't look like no accident to me. I saw him try to accellerate over them two or three times before stopping the van to assess his damage."

Pyle looked on as two gentlemen rushed to jack up the van in order to free the bag which was lodged next to the front-right tire of the car. Cory, one of the gentlemen, acted quickly: "We didn't have time for questions. We just knew we had to get them fellers out ASAP." Andy, who helped him, could find some good in it all: "Tragic moments like these can really pull people together. A minute earlier in traffic, we're all angry at each other. A minute later, we're all asking how we can help and making sure everyone is alright."

Thankfully, Canon and Sony, digital cameras, were not harmed in the accident but the Tripod twins were permanently crippled. Trogdor had received serious head injuries rendering him unconscious. An ambulance rushed Trogdor, a DVD burner, to the nearest computer hospital. Canon, rode in the ambulance with him: "He looked in one piece. I thought he'd pull through for us. If you looked closely, you could see his face was disfigured a little, but that was all." Trogdor died a few hours later at the nearest computer hospital from an aneurism sustained from the concussion. All passengers were wearing their safety belts at the time of the collision.

Trogdor and his friends Canon & Sony had just returned together from a long week at Camp TEJAS Bring a Friend in Amarillo where they had helped Pyle shoot several kids for memory sake. Canon did not recognize any tension with their employer: "Pyle seemed like a quiet guy and friendly. But we did start to feel uncomfortable driving with him when he was pulled over for speeding a few hours before the accident. He told us not to tell anyone, and seemed unusually quiet on the way home, even for Pyle."

Mr. Pyle Driver swears it was an accident: "I dropped off my employees at their house, but forgot to check if someone had escorted them inside. When I backed into them, I thought I had hit the curb, so I gassed the van few times to get over it." Pyle said he was still grieving for the loss of Trogdor but recently found a replacement. Trogdor's relatives, the Plextor family, said they suspect foul play and would file charges.
