Help Me - No Destruction Please

Filed under: helpme — route66 @ 6:41 am

Help Me – No Destruction Please was an imagination of an old “struggling to live” memorabilia store located somewhere at the crossroad in the suburban town of Chicago. The Memorabilia store’s name is Highway 66 Old Stuffs. It sells wide range of old stuffs like books, postcards, posters, street signs, newspapers and many more. Tens of buildings alongside the road had been razed by the local government. The local Government intended to built an ultra modern economic zone on the site. To people, the crossroad was one of the most well known icon of highway 66. The situation, currently, just like a haunting graveyard. No one is brave enough to pass through. So bad.
That day, Al, as usual, ride his red painted Roadking to look for old things. He loves to collect any old things. To him, old things are great. He doesn’t know why. Just love them, that’s all. Yesterday his friend told him that there is an old store near Joliet that sell various old things related to Highway 66 memorabilia. Highway 66? What kind of highway is that? He has collected oldies for 15 years, but he has never heard Highway 66 before. It must be an exclusive one he thinks. Shortly, a day after, he prepares his things (map, etc) and goes there. Alongside the road he sees there is no life. That day, probably, only him and his Roadking who pass through the line. It’s hard to find the store. There is no sign that guide him to go there. He, then open his map. Unfortunately, he find nothing. There is no route called Highway 66. Was the information fake? He has been on his bike for more than 6 hours. He starts to feel upset. From the distance, he sees an old man walking with his dog.
