One fine day, in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other. They pulled out their swords and shot one another. One deaf cop, on the beat heard the noise, and came and shot the two dead boys.

About This Quote

This is a very dark story, but it has a happy ending. The two boys on the street were best friends who had been killed in the street by a policeman. The two of them were dead and yet they were still fighting. They fought and they won.

They were victorious and they didn’t die. This shows that we can always fight for what we believe in and we can always be successful even when we aren’t alive anymore.
