" You know, someone tried to run him over the other day. I saw it. My room overlooks the road."

"You must be joking. When?"

"Last Tuesday.."

"Oh, I remember, I was on your way to your house, remember? I saw it, too. No one tried to run him down. He jumped in front of the car."

"What? No, I could see the malicious intent in the driver;s eyes. Your view must have been blocked."

"I was closer. Its your view that is blocked."

" But why would he do such a thing?And he is still alive"

"I don't know. I told you he is weird. Maybe he gets a kick out of narrowly missing out on death."

"He can't. He is paranoid about death."
