Here's a photo. (seen on Interview main page)

“INEDIBLE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN FOOD”

You have 112 words. Go.

I see this truck in front of me.

I pull up along side the huge rig.

There’s a big hairy guy behind the wheel.

I blow my horn.

The wooly guy turns from the road and he looks at me.

I ask him to pull over so that I can sample his wares.

He gives me the finger.

I notice that he has just one.

I slow down and watch the truck pass me on the road.

I forgot to tell the guy that giving me some of his cargo would be okay. Since I’m not human.

Maybe I should have pulled off my face.

I speed up.

There is still time.
