Wraithlike wisps of fog blew past chilling me, dampening my
spirit as I climbed into my car. An imp headed for the
nearest stoplight to play the devil with the commuters and
provide assistance to a gremlin who had jammed the light at
the busy intersection. Thus far the humans had managed to
avoid incident, it being merely a vexation, slowing their
journey. The mischievous imp, however cleared a lane that
had the green for an inattentive person on a cell phone who
flew into the intersection, unaware of the nice civilized
manner in which people were taking turns. Another man, with
distracting visions of voluptuous nymphs and fairies dancing
in his mind, tried to slide through from the red-light
direction WHAM ! next to me they collided, to the applause
of the gremlin and his brother scamps as I looked to sneak
through and make my left turn.
