After Nine

What's taking so long, thought Jerry as he was stumped in that couch of his, watching TV. The news was on.

"It seems that Nimble has striked again with a dose of weirdness, as a youth was seen leading his clothes to a laundry service." the news said. "He led them like a marching band. As expected, people could not simply ignore this odd event."
