Benny didn’t care what they all said. He saw what he saw! Sure, he had a few too many lagers. That’s why he was down at the Alien Wall in the first place. That many drinks and a fella had to have a splash, didn’t he? And down there the cops couldn’t see you as well, which is how it came to be so decorated. All of those googing eyes watching would normal put him off, but he couldn’t wait. And then one of them winked at him, bold as brass. Benny had never run so hard in his life!
